Herston Biofabrication Institute
Herston Quarter’s Biofabrication Institute in Brisbane, Queensland, is a pioneering facility where clinicians and academics collaborate to advance 3D biomedical technologies and digital health.
Designed to foster collaboration, the building integrates advanced technology with flexible, organic spaces, allowing clinicians, academics, industry professionals, and consumers to learn, collaborate, and conduct research. It houses a full mechanical workshop, a 3D printing lab, a digital innovation hub, a tissue culture laboratory, and patient consultation rooms, alongside interactive public gallery spaces.
The facility’s adaptable and functional design creates a calming and welcoming environment for treatment, reflecting the comprehensive scope of its groundbreaking work in research, education, treatment, and rehabilitation.
Installed throughout the institute is the Intralux Versatile VL9050 linear system. Utilising the latest LED technology, the VL9050 can be configured with various module arrangements in a single run. It includes spots, linear modules, and a range of diffused options for comfortable illumination, making it the perfect solution for an adaptable environment such as this.
