Accidental injury is a leading cause of preventable hospitalization and fatality in Canada and throughout the world (Canada¿s Road Safety Strategy 2025). The goal of the Trauma Biomechanics and Injury Prevention program led by Dr. Cronin is to develop biofidelic (response similar to a human) and frangible (sustains damage similar to human tissues) human body computational models to: interpret experimental and epidemiological data, investigate impact response and injury mechanisms in crash scenarios, and develop novel human protection devices. This novel and sophisticated approach is essential to designing safe, lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles, and ultimately to mitigate injury and save lives.

意外伤害是加拿大和世界各地可预防的住院和死亡的主要原因（加拿大2025年道路安全战略）。Cronin博士领导的创伤生物力学和伤害预防计划的目标是开发生物力学（类似于人类的反应）和脆弱（类似于人体组织的持续损伤）人体计算模型：解释实验和流行病学数据，调查碰撞场景中的冲击响应和伤害机制，并开发新型人体保护装置。这种新颖而复杂的方法对于设计安全，轻量和省油的车辆至关重要，并最终减轻伤害并挽救生命。
