Beyond the bench – Biomed engineering in action - In-person event

The Critical Care Research Group (CCRG) is a world-leader in biomedical engineering and patient-focused research translation. From preclinical bench top models to computational fluid dynamics, in silico anatomical model to haemodynamic testing, CCRG’s research has led to major recent innovations in heart transplantation and mechanical respiratory support.

At this exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, visitors will step inside two of CCRG’s internationally renowned labs, the STARLab and ICETLab, to discover what it takes to drive research translation, improve outcomes and save lives.

Visitors will see the CCRG’s mock cardiovascular circulatory loop in action, hear from international intensivists and Post-Doctoral researchers, and see how coagulation, inflammation and other life-sustaining therapies are tested.
