University of Washington School of Medicine
Dr. Brakenridge is an Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington with an active NIH/NIGMS supported research program focused on characterizing different immune endotypes after severe traumatic injury and surgical sepsis. Specifically, those that characterize the persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PICS), drive chronic critical illness, and lead to poor long-term clinical outcomes. Dr. Brakenridge is also interested in the development and translation of precision medicine approaches to identify clinically relevant endotypes among critically ill patients, in order to facilitate the successful implementation of mechanistically targeted therapies.
