The Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME) fosters the development of new medical technologies across the whole spectrum of medical science.  A prime example of this is the bionic vision device which has been developed over the last five years.  This is a \u2018brain-machine\u2019 device to restore visual function to blind individuals.  I will be presenting this research project but also some of the other exciting areas of medical engineering including the development of replacement body parts such as the ear and the trachea using bio-printing techniques and \u2018laboratory on-a-chip\u2019 technology.  There is great scope for medical engineering in paediatrics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5270,5658],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","category-video"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1052"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1367,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions\/1367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/grandrounds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
