Distinguished Professor Sir Peter Hunter - Introduction to Te Titoki Mataora
Good Clinical has teamed up with Te Titoki Mataora, the MedTech Research Translator, to bring you the Te Titoki Mataora Podcast Series.
Te Titoki Mataora (TTM) is a New Zealand-based organization focused on translating basic science into real outcomes in healthcare.
Here to provide an background to Te Titoki Mataora, the current framework to support research translation and some forward thinking perspectives is Distinguished Professor Sir Peter Hunter.
After identifying a need to translate basic science into real outcomes in healthcare Sir Peter Hunter and Di Siew founded the Consortium for Medical Device Technologies (CMDT). Over years this resulted in the spin out of a number of companies, as well as a bid for a MedTech Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE), and more recently Te Titoki Mataora, the MedTech Research Translator.
Te Titoki Mataora aims to develop a New Zealand-wide approach to medical technology translation by collaborating with universities, Callaghan Innovation, and the healthcare system. Supported by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and the University of Auckland, the organization provides funding and support through programs like the Research Acceleration Program (RAP) to help researchers and spin-out companies progress from ideation to commercialization. TTM has already funded 69 projects and aims to create more high-paying jobs and successful medtech companies in New Zealand.
In Sir Peter's Words, "I don't see any reason why we can't be creating, over the next 10 years, another ten Fisher and Paykel Heathcares".
