The participant will utilize animal models of burns and/or hemorrhage to examine the effects of resurrection strategies for improving prehospital treatment of the injured. Studies will involve survival experiments with a multi-disciplinary approach to address systematic inflammation, kidney dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Individuals with large animal instrumentation, immunology, or renal function are highly encouraged to apply.
Appointment Length
An ORISE appointment period can be a short-term (less than 2 weeks), summer (10-12 weeks), or yearlong appointment. Faculty appointments are generally for 10-12 weeks during the summer, but appointments during the academic year are also available. Appointments may be extended depending on funding availability, project assignment, program rules, and availability of the participant.
