On 1 February 2005, the key medical research entities of Monash Institute of Reproduction and Development and Southern Health joined forces to reflect the expanding breadth of research beyond reproduction and development, creating the Monash Institute of Medical Research.
Today: MIMR research staff and students total more than 300 (including 100 PhD students) and continue to receive international recognition for their work. Supported by a dedicated financial and human resource administrative team and development office, MIMR's centres have outstanding track records of commercialisation, with six spin-off companies initiated in recent years. The Institute's commercialisation team manages intellectual property, business plan development, licensing, research contract negotiation and company spin-off activities.
