Emergency Medicine
Research
The Division of Emergency Medicine has a broad research agenda, with researchers involved in investigations that range from those conducted at the molecular level to those studying health care delivery systems. Current clinical research projects include:
- Biomedical informatics (clinical informatics, public health informatics, real time population health monitoring)
- Bioterrorism preparedness, education, decision support
- Head trauma/c-spine trauma
- Genetics and developmental biology - (asthma, pulmonary development, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia)
- Infectious diseases: bacteremia, pneumonia, UTI, febrile infants less than three months old
- Infectious diseases: Innate and acquired immunity
- Streptococcus pneumoniae, vaccines
- Medical Education
- Procedural sedation & analgesia, capnography
- Short Stay Unit protocols, outpatient management of diseases traditionally treated in the hospital, diagnostic testing, ATLE outcomes
- Sickle cell, mannose binding protein, metabolic disorders, nitric oxide
- Toxicology, clinical pharmacology, environmental health, therapeutic drug trials
- Trauma
- Violence-related injury, injury prevention
Featured researchers in the Division of Emergency Medicine hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School.
