"EMS quality metrics and social determinants of health" and "Matrix-Bound Nanovesicles"

Presenter: Sebastian Boland, MD

Title: EMS quality metrics and social determinants of health

Description: My projects involve the prehospital care of trauma patients and the role that social determinants of health play in the quality of prehospital care. I am interested in using existing metrics and establishing novel metrics to better define "high-quality care" in the prehospital setting and inform best practices. 

Mentor:  Dr. Joshua Brown

Presenter: Dr. Joud Mulla, MD

Title: Matrix-Bound Nanovesicles

I will introduce matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs), their role in extracellular matrix homeostasis, uptake mechanism studies, as well as their role in alcoholic liver disease.

Mentor: Dr. Melanie Scott

Collaborators: Dr. Gavin Arteel, Dr. Stephen Badylak, and Dr. George Hussey
