Operation Brain Trauma Therapy

Abstract

Operation brain trauma therapy (OBTT) is a unique multi-center, pre-clinical, drug screening and brain injury biomarker development consortium for the ultimate translation of the best potential drugs to clinical trials in traumatic brain injury (TBI). OBTT includes the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine), the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, (University of Miami School of Medicine), the Neuroprotection program at WRAIR, Virginia Commonwealth University and Banyan Biomarkers. We have launched a multicenter preclinical drug and biomarker screening consortium, OBTT, for the field of TBI. This approach is unique and has a specific focus on drug development for TBI in combat casualty care. We believe that as it develops, the findings of this consortium have the potential to provide special insight for field of experimental and clinical TBI.
