Congrats to Matt Lynes, PhD, Faculty Scientist (and MCOBRE Project Leader) and David Seder, MD, MMC Critical Care Physician, for a Team Science Award from MHIR’s Acute Care COBRE! With this funding the research team will focus on the activity of brown adipose tissue as a potential therapeutic target in the post-resuscitation period and assess effects on glucose homeostasis and inflammation. By combining expertise in the areas of post-resuscitation cardiac arrest care (Dr. Seder) and brown adipose tissue biology (Lynes Lab) the team will take a team science approach to define patient subpopulations that benefit from therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest and identify a novel tissue target to mitigate post arrest alterations to glycemia, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
