Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury: An Overview of the Multicenter Study of the Genomic and Proteomic Response to Burn Injury

Abstract

Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury is a prospective, multicenter, federally funded collaborative study of the genomic and proteomic basis for injury response. This study has brought together clinical specialists in burn injury with experts in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics to answer questions related to immunoinflammatory responses to injury. The purpose of this report is to describe the structure, organization, goals, and current progress of this Glue Grant project.
