About the placement
This internship is with Tetratherix and is facilitated by the CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program.
Tetratherix is expanding its ISO13485-certified production facility in Alexandria, NSW, to meet growing demands for its biostealth polymer technology. Currently producing 1,000 grams per week, they aim to scale up significantly to meet expected demand. Tetratherix aims to keep production local by expanding the current Sydney infrastructure.
As a Chemical or Mechanical Engineering intern, you will be an integral part of the process in establishing a large scale, commercial manufacturing facility to produce the Biostealth polymer technology as a medical commodity.
Your role will include helping analyse requirements for upscaling the facility, assisting in creating CAD drawings, and contributing to planning, including pricing and equipment sizing. This role offers hands-on experience in a cutting-edge technology environment, working with experienced professionals.

About the Industry Partner
Tetratherix stands at the forefront of medical innovation with the creation of the world's first Biostealth polymer technology. This breakthrough advancement is set to disrupt targeted therapeutic delivery and regenerative medicine. Our technology encompasses a smart biomaterial that can be seamlessly administered through various methods including percutaneous, intra-vascular, or intranasal routes. What sets our technology apart is its ability to form a resorbable matrix upon application, without causing any foreign-body reaction and thus rendering it virtually invisible to the body - Biostealth. Our smart biomaterial is not just a concept - it has progressed beyond pilot clinical trials and is backed by over 40 granted composition of matter patents in key markets.
