Biography

MIRI sets the world standard for comprehensive injury research, director says

Professor Rod McClure, the former head of the Monash University Accident Research Centre, says MUARC’s status as a world leader in road injury research overshadowed its work on other causes of injury. But he found the solution – the new Monash Injury Research Institute, where he’s the director and where MUARC now sits. Bringing together researchers from across Monash has made MIRI the most comprehensive, all-injury research centre in the world.

After starting his career putting road accident victims back together – including after two buses collided, leaving more than 30 dead and just as many injured – it’s not surprising that Rod moved into public health to prevent injury in the population rather than treat it in individuals.

It’s also not surprising that trauma physicians like Rod were behind the campaigns in the 1970s to slash the national road toll, which was then about 4000 deaths a year and is now about 1500.

Epidemiologists, who study public health issues such as injury as Rod now does, say every death hides about 30 serious injuries, hundreds of moderately serious and many thousands of less serious injuries that still result in short-term disability.

Rod says these figures highlight the enormous burden that injuries place on individuals, families and the community.

Victoria’s road toll campaigns led to the establishment of MUARC in 1987, which, in turn, led to changes in road laws and car designs, based on MUARC research. Rod’s challenge now is to extend  MUARC’s success to MIRI, which was set up in 2011 to have a similar impact on reducing death and injury from all causes.

MUARC now specifically focuses on transport safety research. It sits within MIRI alongside units for violence and suicide prevention; workplace safety; home, sport and leisure; patient safety; acute care; injury outcomes; and disaster resilience.

Rod says the new structure encourages greater collaboration across Monash and gives all MIRI researchers space in which to develop truly innovative research.

“By being fully integrated inside a university and able to draw on all the University’s intellectual resources, MIRI has the capacity to research the full range of injuries, whatever the cause.”
