Summary
- Bryan A. Cotton, MD, MPH is the John B Holmes Distinguished Professor in Clinical Sciences and Professor in the Department of Surgery at the McGovern Medical School (UT-Houston) and the Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Hermann Hospital. In addition, he is the Director of the Surgical Critical Care, Trauma Surgery, and Acute Care Surgery Fellowships at UT-Houston. His clinical specialties are trauma surgery and surgical critical care. Dr. Cotton’s research focuses on identifying best resuscitation strategies for hemorrhagic shock.
Over the last decade, his research has focused on identifying best resuscitation strategies for hemorrhagic shock, development and maturation of massive transfusion protocols and the early prediction of patients who will receive massive transfusion of blood and blood products. To that end, he has held funding from the National Institutes of Health, the State of Texas Emerging Technologies Fund, and the Department of Defense. Even when not serving as principal investigator, he has been recognized by others as a key contributor and have subsequently been awarded site-principal investigator for numerous studies in the field of resuscitation and hemostasis.
