In this episode, we’re joined by Dina Tikova, Senior Manager of Startups at UNSW Founders and the driving force behind the Health 10x Accelerator, to unpack how doctors can turn breakthrough medical innovation into real-world wealth and impact, without leaving medicine.
With over a decade of experience helping medical founders commercialise health tech, Dina reveals what’s actually working in 2025 to bridge the gap between hospitals, universities, and high-growth startups. She explains how the Health 10x program backs ventures tackling the toughest global health challenges, the ones that need regulation, clinical trials, and funding that traditional investors usually avoid.
Together, we explore why Australia has lagged behind the US in translating world-class research into commercial success, what’s finally shifting, and how doctors can play a key role as founders, advisors, or investors. Dina also breaks down how universities are changing the rules, creating new pathways for clinicians to engage with innovation while keeping their medical careers intact.
If you’ve ever seen a life-changing idea get stuck in the system and thought, “Someone should do something about that,” this episode will show you how to be that someone, by investing in the future of healthcare innovation.
