Academic Collaborations
and Integrated Research

Innovation at MDE Srl stems from constant dialogue between our R&D department and the academic world.
Partnerships with Italian and foreign universities and research centers allow us to develop Advanced Medical Technologies,
optimize production processes, and train future specialists in the biomedical sector.

Innovation stems from collaboration

MDE’s mission is to combine technical expertise, scientific research, and training to create safer, higher-performance, and more sustainable medical devices. University partnerships are a strategic pillar: they allow us to experiment with new materials and processes, validate results, and share expertise with the scientific community.MDE participates in applied research projects, industrial PhDs, and co-funded innovation programs, contributing to the growth of the national and international biomedical sector.

Collaborations

Our Academic Network

We work closely with various universities, research institutes, and hospitals, creating a direct bridge between scientific research and the industrial application of medical devices. Collaborations primarily focus on:

  • Advanced analysis (rheological, mechanical) of tubes and components.
  • Educational internships and Degree Theses in biomedical engineering.
  • Co-design projects on new device geometries and functionalities.
