The Australian Centre for NanoMedicine combines Medicine, Science and Engineering to deliver therapeutic solutions to research problems in medicine. Through a commitment to research, education, knowledge transfer and commercialisation, ACN is dedicated to the prevention, diagnostics and curing of diseases. 

Global effort has been made to conquer incurable diseases by developing new advanced medical technologies that utilise a multidisciplinary research approach of converging nano- and medical research.

The Australian Centre for NanoMedicine (ACN) based at the University of New South Wales, is a unique translational research centre that brings together teams combining the skills of medics, scientists and engineers to undertake basic, clinical and technological research. ACNs focus is directed at increasing capabilities in specific disease focused programs within four areas:

• Theranostics
• Drug and Gene Delivery
• Nanomaterials and Bioimaging
• Regenerative Medicine 

With alliances that span Australia and international medical and research institutions, ACN has enormous potential and to influence future clinical care, especially for those patients with cancer, diabetics, cardiovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and inflammatory and/or infectious diseases and other diseases.
