Research Statement
Harriet W. Hopf, MD has been dedicated throughout her career to providing the training and mentoring required to enable trainees to develop successful careers in interdisciplinary, collaborative, translational research that advances the science and practice of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. Her own research follows this model and has contributed to 1) advances in scientific understanding, specifically in the areas of wound healing and oxygen delivery and 2) advances in perioperative patient management, specifically related to surgical site infection prevention. Dr. Hopf was funded by the NIH from 1989 -2005 through a collaborative, interdisciplinary P50 Center grant (5) focused on Wound Healing, Infection, and Inflammation and has published >90 peer-reviewed publications (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/harriet.hopf.1/bibliography/public/). She directed the Department of Anesthesiology Resident Research Rotation from 2008-2018 and received the FAER Mentoring Excellence in Research Award in 2013. She is Chair of the Board of the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research and is on the Editorial Board for Anesthesiology and Wound Repair and Regeneration.
