“I was immediately drawn to Józef Stanisław Ostoja-Kotkowski’s work… in particular, the dynamic, psychedelic, disco-esque, yet controlled symmetry in Dawn (c1986).

The petal-like shapes extending out to feathery forms radiate energy, tantalising the eyes like a new dawn.

Ostoja-Kotkowski was a prolific creator and innovator across many media, art forms and the sciences, including theatre design, breaking ground in the use of electronic light and sound.”

Jackie Wurm, Project Officer, Flinders University Art Museum & City Gallery

Cutting-edge medical devices aren’t created by the stereotypical lone engineer working in isolation in a research laboratory – at least not at Flinders.

The University is bringing the best minds together to create tomorrow’s biomedical solutions today through the Medical Device Partnering Program (MDPP).

Established in 2008 by Professor Karen Reynolds, the MDPP aims to form links between industry, researchers and health professionals. The Partnering Program has been funded by the South Australian Government since its inception, which has seen the majority of activity involving local organisations, but there has in recent times been a steady increase in interstate companies coming to utilise the service.

“Bringing together researchers, industry and medical teams from the start enables the Medical Device Partnering Program to deliver solutions quickly and creatively,” Professor Reynolds said.

Professor Karen Reynolds, Director, Medical Device Partnering Program Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor

“Our projects run for around 250 hours. While this might not seem like a long time, it gives the team long enough to learn whether they can work productively together and also see whether there are opportunities in the near future to continue the working relationships.”

The unique program has led to many new products hitting the market, ranging from Austofix’s Ezy-Aim Electronic Distal Targeting System (an orthopaedic device which removes the need for multiple X-rays when fixing bone fractures) to INNOVO Healthcare’s U Stand Frame (a lightweight, portable frame to help patients move from a sit-to-stand position).

“Working closely with end-users and clinicians we are able to respond to industry-driven problems, fast-forwarding the R&D process.”

Engineering life-changing devices takes teamwork.

This island continent we call home presents unique challenges for defence.

It brings into play land, sea and air technology and puts this technology into situations where second best simply isn’t good enough.

Flinders is at the frontline of defence-oriented research and development in a myriad of different ways across our campuses.

Imagine a day very soon when we have unmanned warships patrolling our 132,000 kilometres of coastline. We are developing that capability now.

Our robotics team is making new advances that could keep our soldiers out of harm’s way, our fibre optics technology is revolutionising battlefield communications, our engineers are evolving ways to enhance body mechanics to ensure our military personnel are at peak performance levels…we are even looking at making munitions and explosives more stable for longer.
