Nicole Shilkofski Lab
Lab WebsiteWork in the Nicole Shilkofski Lab aims to improve patient safety in critical care settings, wit...h a focus on resuscitation scenarios. Our research is conducted as part of the research group of the Johns Hopkins Medical Simulation Center. We investigate the communication and functionality of teams during medical crisis situations. As part of those efforts, we are designing a web-based curriculum to teach pediatric resuscitation through mannequin simulation and computer-based simulation techniques. view more

Pali Shah Lab
Research in the Pali Shah Lab focuses on lung transplants. Specifically, we’re interested in ch...ronic rejection and quality and safety as they relate to lung transplants. view more
Research Areas: health care quality, pulmonary medicine, safety, lung transplant -
Pankaj Jay Pasricha Lab
Researchers in the Pankaj Jay Pasricha Lab are interested in the molecular mechanisms of viscer...al pain and restoration of enteric neural function with novel strategies, including neural stem cell transplants. Recent research has focused on the enteric nervous system and gut-brain axis, and the complexity of pain in chronic pancreatitis. Another recent study indicates that patients with underlying small intestinal bacterial overgrowth have significant delays in small bowel transit time as compared to those without, while another explored the safety and efficacy of carbon dioxide cryotherapy for treatment of neoplastic Barrett's esophagus. view more

Samantha Pitts Lab
Lab WebsiteResearch in the Samantha Pitts Lab focuses on care safety and quality in ambulatory patients. S...pecifically, our activities have included applying the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) in office-based practices and improving the delivery of evidence-based care through clinical care teams. view more
Research Areas: preventive medicine, ambulatory care, safety, evidence-based medicine, quality of care -
Sean Berenholtz Lab
Lab WebsiteWork in the Sean Berenholtz Lab focuses on patient safety, ICU care, quality health care and ev...idence-based medicine. Two notable and successful projects include the National On The Cusp: Stop BSI project, which was implemented in 47 states with the goal of eliminating bloodstream infections, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded Keystone ICU project, which improved communication and teamwork and reduced hospital-acquired infections in more than 100 ICUs in Michigan. One recent study focused on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), one of the most common type of health care-associated infections in the ICU. Existing VAP prevention intervention bundles vary widely on the interventions, but our research team described a structured approach for developing a new VAP prevention bundle. view more

The Boss Lab
The Boss Lab's research focus is on patient experience, health disparities, and surgical outcom...es and utilization. Studies include shared decision-making, communication, and patient/parent-reported outcomes for elective surgery in children; patient satisfaction metrics, outcomes, and health correlates in surgery and pediatrics; patient and family-centered care and communication in surgery and pediatrics; racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in pediatric surgical care utilization and outcomes; and quality and safety in pediatric surgical care view more
Research Areas: communication, quality and safety in pediatric surgical care, disparities in pediatric care, pediatric surgical care, family-centered care -
Theresa Shapiro Laboratory
The Theresa Shapiro Laboratory studies antiparasitic chemotherapy. On a molecular basis, we are... interested in understanding the mechanism of action for existing antiparasitic agents, and in identifying vulnerable metabolic targets for much-needed, new, antiparasitic chemotherapy. Clinically, our studies are directed toward an evaluation, in humans, of the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, metabolism and safety of experimental antiparasitic drugs. view more
Research Areas: sleeping sickness, infectious disease, drugs, malaria, pharmacology, antiparasitic chemotherapy, molecular biology -
Todd Dorman Lab
Research conducted in the Todd Dorman Lab examines the use of informatics in intensive care set...tings as it relates to remote patient monitoring, safety and management strategies. Specific areas of interest include the surgical stress response; aminoglycoside antibiotics; fungal infections; renal failure; pharmacokinetic models of drug administration; and ICU triage and its impact on disaster preparedness. view more
