About

As the global population ages and emerging markets seek improved health care, the medical technologies and pharmaceuticals (MTP) sector is growing fast. According to CSIRO’s MTP Roadmap it’s expected to be worth almost $3 trillion globally by 2025.

Australia is home to more than 500 companies working in the MTP sector. Many of these are small and medium enterprises, which sometimes struggle to transition from R&D and initial offering, to a sustainable product.

CSIRO’s Biomedical Materials Translational Facility (BMTF) has the equipment, expertise and experience needed to help medtech companies develop their product at pilot scale. What facilities aren’t available in house can be accessed through our M2 partnership with Monash University , providing access to high resolution biomedical imaging, as well as cell therapies and regenerative medicine.

To find out more about and how to access our facility please see the Services page.
