Working closely with industry partners, CSIRO collaborates on product and technology developments for health and medical related outcomes.
CSIRO draws upon the expertise of chemists, biologists, physicists, engineers and material scientists to address key challenges in health. Our focus is on developing new ‘smart’ technologies which offer platform opportunities where specific parts of the technology can be adapted to many end uses in health and medicine.
