The IDEAL Research Hub’s goal is to advance industry’s ability to develop portable, user-friendly analytical devices that can be used at the clinic, on the production line or in the field to test for tiny quantities of materials that may be early signals of disease, signs of drugs or evidence of food or environmental toxins.
In addition to making scientific discoveries that impact on our knowledge and understanding, the IDEAL Research Hub aims to translate our discoveries into tangible outcomes for society at large by enabling industry partners to commercialise our discoveries into products and services.
