History
Originally established in 1960 as the Medical Research Centre at Prince Henry's Hospital in South Melbourne, the Institute moved from its St Kilda Road premises during the amalgamation of Prince Henry’s Hospital with the Queen Victoria Medical Centre and Moorabbin Hospital. It now operates as an independent Institute based at Monash Medical Centre in Clayton, Melbourne, Australia.
The Institute’s name-sake originates from Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester whom served as the 11th Governor-General of Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
