Martina Barbiero

Martina specialises in medical technology. She works with local inventors, start-ups, established companies, universities, research institutes, and multinational corporations, particularly in relation to medical devices, imaging technologies, and other advanced scientific innovations.

As part of her Master’s research, Martina spent a year at Columbia University in New York within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, where she conducted research into imaging using optical tomography techniques.

Martina subsequently completed a PhD in Applied Physics at RMIT University, where she developed novel imaging techniques utilising nanodiamonds for magnetic sensing and optical super-resolution imaging. Her research combined advanced photonics, quantum sensing, and microscopy methods to achieve high-resolution imaging capabilities.

Following her PhD, Martina worked as a Postdoctoral Training Fellow at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, focusing on optical microscopy. Her research involved developing advanced imaging techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution for live-cell imaging applications.

Martina’s background in biomedical engineering, physics and imaging technologies enables her to understand complex inventions and provide commercially focused intellectual property advice.
