Established in 2019, the Centre brings together research fellows, postdoctoral, postgraduate students and undergraduate students from the School of Engineering. These research centre was Initiated as Medical Devices &amp; Technology Group (<strong>MediTeg<\/strong>) as research group in August 2006 with Prof. Dato\u2019 Ir. Dr. Mohammed Rafiq as a founder. The vision of the centre is to become a globally referred centre in medical devices. promote and facilitate research and education in Medical Devices and related disciplines, and to ensure this research finds its way into the clinic in order to improve patient care.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><em>MEDiTEC<\/em><\/strong> currently consists of 9 Research Fellows who closely work with clinicians and industry to engineer solutions to key healthcare challenges. Our Investigators have received funding from numerous national and international funding agencies. The Niche areas of the research Centre are\u00a0<strong>Orthopaedic Implant technology,\u00a0Medical Informatics, Dental Implant<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Bio-instrumentation<\/strong>.
