Adeyeye Haastrup presents at the 2024 Center for Clinical and Translational Science Symposium. |
Haastrup tied for third place for his research presentation on a study conducted in acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients in collaboration with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina and the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
“We explored the dysregulated metabolic pathways to determine the potential molecular mechanisms responsible for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) in survivors of acute respiratory failure,” he said. “We can accurately predict PICS in survivors of ARF and therapy targeted at dysregulated pathways will improve patients' quality of life, prevent/reduce readmission rate and improve survival.”
The CCTS Translational Science Symposium is a two-and-a-half-day learning event that convenes predoctoral, postdoctoral, and early career scholars, as well as their mentors and training grant leaders. They come from across the CCTS Partner Network to participate in experiential training and career development sessions on translational and design thinking, grant writing, clinical trials, community engagement, and funding opportunities.
“It was a great honor for our research poster to be recognized amongst multiple high-quality research posters as one of the top three posters, voted for by researchers who attended the symposium,” Haastrup said.
Haastrup is in the graduate program's biomedical engineering and bioinformatics track and works under faculty mentor Raymond Langley, Ph.D., associate professor of pharmacology. Of his mentors, program leadership and support staff, Haastrup said they are “indispensable to my growth as a graduate student researcher.”
