ARE YOU A STUDENT FROM QUEENSLAND?
After the success of our Victoria challenge in 2020, we are continuing to expand and want to give more students the opportunity to work on a project with a world-class researcher. The BIOTech Futures Challenge will also take place across our separate satellite locations. QLD challenge will follow the same structure as NSW and International challenges so check out what's in store here. Please note the QLD challenge will take place before the NSW challenge so register your interest so you don't miss out.

ABOUT THE QLD CHALLENGE
The Queensland BIOTech Futures Challenge is hosted by the ARC Training Centre for Joint Biomechanics at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia in conjunction with QUT’s STEM High School Engagement program..
Even though our Centre is focused on medical technologies, the QLD BIOTech Futures Challenge will include a wide range of project topics and mentors from varying STEMM fields.
Registration for the QLD challenge will open from April 1st
The ARC Training Centre for Joint Biomechanics brings together leading researchers, surgeons and medical device companies to train the next generation workforce in biomedical technologies and to actively transform the orthopaedic industry through innovative new solutions. We tackle clinical- and industry-focused challenges in biomechanics with the goal to drive surgical practice towards personalised treatment and better patient outcomes.
The expertise of our team is spread over three leading Australian universities, and numerous international university and industry partners. We are developing technologies such as software tools for pre-surgical planning and decision making, computer simulation systems, robotic systems for surgical training and simulation, medical device assessment and surgical assistants, and personalised post-surgical assessment tools. Our team have experience in fields ranging from cell and tissue culture to robotic vision to wearable sensors.
