ACES Program Pays Off!Congratulations to Quintin Quinones, MD, PhD, CA-2 Resident and ACES Scholar, along with his mentor Dr. Mihai Podgoreanu (Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology) on their $75,000 Research Fellowship Grant from the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) for their proposal titled “Organ Protective Mechanisms Invoked in Mammalian Hibernation”. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) is an unavoidable consequence of cardiac surgery and

organ transplantation, and remains a major contributor to peri-operative mortality. The aim of this proposal is to investigate the transcriptional, protein expression, and metabolic differences in the hearts of arctic ground squirrels compared with non-hibernating mammals and to identify new targets to reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in human disease states. This award speaks to the success of the Duke ACES program in mentoring and supporting talented residents who aspire to careers in academic anesthesiology and seek to supplement their clinical training with opportunities for research and innovation.

New Research Grant AwardQuintin Quinones, MD PhD and Mihai Podgoreanu, MD were awarded $10,000 from the Duke University School of Medicine Core Facility Services Voucher Program for an application titled “Cardioprotective mechanisms invoked in mammalian hibernation: the role of innate immunity”. The

grant will enable preliminary studies on the role of danger associated molecular pattern molecules released by tissues injured during ischemia in activating antigen presenting cells that circulate upon reperfusion, and mediating a second wave of inflammatory injury. Specific differences in innate immune responses that underpin the cardioprotective hibernator phenotype will be tested using flow cytometry and proteomic approaches.
