Our Research
Trauma is leading cause of death for individuals under the age of 45. We are conducting epidemiological studies on various aspects of trauma including risk factors, outcomes and long-term consequences of this devastating disease. Our group is also studying the serious complications encountered in intensive care of trauma victims such as multiple organ failure and sepsis. These studies also include dynamics of biomarkers induced by severe trauma and sepsis.
Sepsis is causes more than 5 million deaths annually and remains a major challenge to the medical profession. We are conducting epidemiological studies on risk factors, magnitudes and outcomes of this lethal condition. We are also performing experimental studies on pathophysiological aspects mainly regarding endothelial dysfunction, a major component in the development of septic shock.
