"The Urgo NA Burn Wound Infection Research Grant Honoring Martin C. Robson, MD has been an extreme help to further my career and research in the pediatric burn realm. As a post-doctoral researcher, this foundational funding was my first independent funding to support my research. More importantly being a recipient of this grant, I have already started to pursue additional collaborations which will be key in pursuing my overall goals. The funding from this award has been used to start my exploration into identifying differentially expressed genes and proteins in the wound bed after severe pediatric burn injury to highlight key pathways leading to complications such as burn wound infections, skin graft failure and improper wound healing. The results from this grant will be used to further my research career by pursuing a K-award." |
