International biomedical partnership focuses on fine details

A $10 million international collaboration will develop a new-generation of biomedical imaging nanotechnologies to enable more accurate disease diagnosis.

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and China’s Southern University of Science (SUSTech) last week signed a five-year co-investment agreement in the Joint Research Centre (JRC) for Biomedical Materials and Devices, in a ceremony in Shenzen witnessed by NSW Governor, the Hon Margaret Beazley AO QC. 

Director of the UTS Institute for Biomedical Materials and Devices (IBMD), Distinguished Professor Dayong Jin, is one of Australia’s leading researchers in photonics, nanotechnology and microscopy – and will be leading the JRC.
