A research team from Australia and the United States, comprised of leading universities, hospitals and industry, will embark on the world's first durable total artificial heart. The group - led by Monash University and BIVACOR, have received $1 million in Australia's Federal Government MRFF funding to develop and commercialise this new device through novel, innovative technology. They aim to take this technology to market within six years, saving lives, creating jobs and establishing Australia as world leaders in medical device development. | https://www.biospectrumasia.com/news/98/18388/australia-us-team-brings-world-first-durable-total-artificial-heart.html
