Groundbreaking research initiatives to advance the treatment of traumatic injuries at UTHealth Houston have been funded with $3.4 million in grants from the Trauma Research and Combat Casualty Care Collaborative (TRC4), an initiative of The University of Texas System.
“These research awards from UT System are a testament to the amazing work of our McGovern Medical School faculty and will ultimately improve the care and outcomes for trauma patients,” said John Hancock, MA, MB, BChir, PhD, ScD, executive dean of McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, who holds the H. Wayne Hightower Distinguished Professorship in the Medical Sciences and the John S. Dunn Distinguished University Chair in Physiology and Medicine.
Ten UTHealth Houston researchers received grants for research encompassing diverse focus areas, from liver and traumatic brain injuries to blood clot prevention, pediatric blood vessel injuries, and spinal cord recovery.
