Problem Solver
Bruce Partridge
I work in small collaborative groups with access to many other academics and specialized services within the university of Otago. I am located in the Centre for Innovation but am a private company. My website shows my old location in Dunedin & will be updated. I am interested in short or long term projects with a bio-engineering / bio-medical subject.

Bruce Partridge's Problem Solving Experience:
- I developed equipment & methodologies for testing human red cell deformation
as part of research into the beneficial properties of evening primrose oil extract. - I developed a freeze drying apparatus for preparing chemical pellets for diagnostic PCR devices.
- I developed equipment for etching atomic force microscopy needles for creating
resizable nano-pores in flexible membranes - I developed a compact diagnostic device based on real time PCR, and suited to
specific bacteria. The initial work was done with MRSA (Staph Aureus) - I have developed many bio-engineering products and processes over 40 years of experience in university and industry.
