Dr. D’Amore was awarded funding from the New York State Department of Health to mentor another ECRIP Research Fellow. The purpose of the fellowship is to apply translational research to augment various clinical issues that are ever present in the Emergency Department. Dr. Lau, the ECRIP Research Fellow from July 2008-July 2010, and Dr. D’Amore have recently begun translational research involving meningitis. The goal is to determine whether levels of certain cytokines correlate with clinical outcomes in patients presented with neurological emergencies.
