Life is Motion

Move promising technologies forward with confidence.

Motion underlies both biological function and technological innovation. Advanced Medical Technology helps navigate the complexities of preclinical development through scientifically rigorous study design, strategic planning, and translational research expertise.

Our approach

Scientific innovation moves forward when research is designed with purpose.


By combining scientific rigor with strategic planning, Advanced Medical Technology helps reduce development risk, avoid costly delays, and maintain momentum throughout the research process. From benchtop studies to clinical translation, our mission is simple: move promising technologies forward with confidence.

Musculoskeletal research · benchtop to bedside

The Global Collaborative Network

Successful clinical outcomes are not built in isolation.

They require a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach from initial product design and research strategy through clinical investigations.

Led by Dr. Bryan W. Cunningham, Advanced Medical Technology operates as a Global Collaborative Network of top-tier surgeons, Contract Research Organizations (CRO), research assistants, and regulatory specialists spanning the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

Partnering with clinical organizations to provide comprehensive foresight and rigorous planning, and with decades of experience working directly with FDA personnel, the staff at Advanced Medical Technology understands the regulatory challenges. Rigorous research and development programs are designed to generate the basic scientific and clinical data needed to exceed the highest levels of review while providing confidence for clinical success.

The multidisciplinary laboratory research facilities are equipped to conduct in vitro and in vivo musculoskeletal projects, incorporating a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines.

The research process

From benchtop studies to clinical translation.

The preclinical services offered utilize an alpha-to-omega approach in every project, ensuring the research process moves seamlessly from the benchtop to the bedside.

01

Strategy & study design

Comprehensive foresight and rigorous planning from initial product design and research strategy through clinical investigations.

02

Non-GLP exploratory studies

Precise experimental endpoints are developed in the non-GLP pilot process, informed by the requirements of regulatory agencies.

03

GLP protocol execution

Formal GLP studies are designed and conducted with an expected outcome, ensuring final GLP study data is comprehensive and robust.

04

Clinical translation

A streamlined collaborative approach ensures timely execution and completion of research projects, from the benchtop to the bedside.

Mission statement

It is my fundamental belief that steadfast, collaborative research efforts via a multidisciplinary approach will build upon the scientific and clinical knowledge base of musculoskeletal disorders — improving the surgical care and quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal pathology.
