Research Interests
My research focuses on epidemiological and clinical trials of critically ill patients, particularly on oxygen delivery, transfusion, and injured/trauma patients. I have extensive experience designing, overseeing, and implementing multicenter randomized clinical trials in critical care environments, particularly in acute respiratory failure, oxygen delivery, and traumatic injury. I have been the site Co-PI of two trials assessing the effects of hyperoxemia in critically injured trauma (NCT04534959) and burn (NCT04534972) patients. National leadership in clinical trials networks includes the NIH Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV)-3/4 and the CDC-funded Investigating Respiratory Viruses in the Acutely Ill (IVY). Funding for my research includes NIH (NIGMS), DoD, and CDC. I have published over 45 original research articles in leading medical journals.
