Research Interests
Bingren Hu, MD, PhD, is a Professor in Trauma in the Department of Anesthesiology. Dr. Hu’s laboratory main research interests include molecular mechanisms and treatments of brain ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and hemorrhagic shock. In brain ischemia research, his laboratory employs both global and focal ischemia, and neonatal hypoxia-ischemia rat and mouse models to study protein misfolding and aggregation, membrane trafficking, the protein degradation pathways, and novel therapeutics against ischemia-reperfusion brain injury. In traumatic brain injury research, his laboratory employs a rat fluid percussion injury model to investigate aberrant synaptogenesis and post-TBI seizures. In hemorrhagic shock research, his laboratory employs rat lethal hemorrhagic shock models to investigate mechanisms and treatment of ischemia reperfusion injury due to lethal hemorrhagic shock in the brain, spinal cord, and abdominal organs.
