$25,000
PI: Nauder Faraday
The goal of this project is to develop data analytics tools to visualize and interpret time-dependent vital signs data to: 1) Identify patients who experience significant variations in blood pressure for short (few minutes) and/or longer periods of time (several days). 2) Determine the relationship between variability in vital signs and clinical outcome.

NIH/NHLBI
$507,929
PI: L Becker
Role: Co-Investigator (2% effort years 1 and 2, 10% effort years 3 and 4, 40% effort year 5); In our GWAS study of platelet aggregation phenotypes before and after low dose aspirin in 2200 subjects (GeneSTAR), 64 and 57 loci were associated at genome-wise significance before and after aspirin, respectively. Mechanistic interpretation is limited by uncertainty as to which gene(s) are up- or downregulated based on SNP modifications. In 3 phases, we will (1) create pluripotent stem cells (iPS) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and then differentiate these stem cells into megakaryocytes, (2) efficiently produce iPS and megakaryocytes using a novel pooling method, and (3) produce iPS and megakaryocytes from 400 subjects in GeneSTAR (200 whites, 200 African Americans), selected based on specific hypotheses derived from GWAS signals in native and post aspirin platelet function; characterize genetic mRNA transcripts using a comprehensive Affymetrix exon array; measure protein expression for transcripts of interest using mass spectrometry; examine mRNA and protein expression patterns for each GWAS signal to determine the functional pathway(s) involved in native platelet phenotypes; and examine the functional genomics of variations in responsiveness to aspirin using a prior genotyped and phenotyped population.

Role: Co-Investigator (2% effort)
This study is focused on platelet aggregation in subjects from high risk families. The aims are to: (1) use a family-based design to discover genes differentially expressed in subjects with platelet hyperaggregation compared to controls, (2) leverage prior GWAS signals to identify eQTLs associated with transcript expression to help prioritize transcripts/genes, and (3) to determine whether changes in gene expression in hyperaggregating platelets are reflected in changes in expressed proteins. This study will produce a complete quantitative inventory of all mRNA transcripts present in platelets, as well as a complete eQTL map of genetic loci responsible for transcript expression in platelets in both European and African Americans

CLINICAL ACTIVITIES
Clinical Focus
I have two main areas of clinical focus- critical care medicine and cardiac anesthesiology. The majority of my clinical time has been spent in critical care areas, including the cardiac surgical ICU, adult surgical ICU, and Weinberg ICU. In my previous role as Co-Director of the Cardiac Surgical ICU, I led development of a clinical and teaching service at Johns Hopkins, which was one of the first of its kind and served as a model for cardiac surgical ICUs at Duke, University of Pennsylvania, and Vanderbilt.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Educational focus
My teaching focuses on issues related to perioperative hemostasis and thrombosis, including mechanisms and management of perioperative bleeding, transfusion management, postoperative thrombotic complications (MI, stroke, VTE), and management of antithrombotic agents. I have participated in and then led one of the largest national meetings on the topic of perioperative medicine- the Johns Hopkins Perioperative Management Course- which draws 400-500 participants annually from across the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. In addition, I have mentored a number of post baccalaureates, post-doctoral fellows and residents in laboratory, translational and clinical research projects related to platelet biology and thrombosis. More recently, I have served as a mentor in career development processes for faculty in the department of Anesthesiology and School of Medicine, providing guidance for promotions.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Research Focus
I have conducted laboratory and clinical cardiovascular research for >20 years, having received continuous funding as a PI or Co-I from the NIH and AHA during that time. My research has focused on identifying the molecular and genetic basis for inter-individual variability in platelet function and response to anti-platelet therapy and identifying the molecular mechanisms through which neutrophil-platelet interactions promote vascular thrombosis and resistance to aspirin treatment. My clinical research has focused on identification of novel markers and mechanisms for bleeding, thrombotic, and infectious complications after surgery. The overarching goal of all these projects is to identify novel determinants of disease that allow a precision guided approach to prevention and treatment of thrombosis and infection in high risk individuals.
Research Program Building/Leadership
2005-present Director, Perioperative Genetic/Precision Medicine, Dept of Anesthesiology. The program involves an ongoing prospective cohort study of surgical patients at high risk for bleeding, thrombosis, and infection. The goal of the program is to identify molecular markers, which include genetic, microbiome, and proteins, that allow risk stratification and precision guided therapeutics for prevention of common high morbidity events after surgery. The program is a multi-center collaboration with the U of MD and involves collaboration among the departments of Anesthesiology, Surgery, Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control, and Pathology.
2015-present Director, Clinical Research, Dept of Anesthesiology. My role is to assemble and direct a team of individuals who design, execute, and analyze clinical research and QI projects for the department of Anesthesiology, with the goals of accelerating research productivity and career development of our faculty and improving patient care and efficiency. The team now consists of a biostatistician, a database manager, 4 research coordinators, and 5 research assistants and supports >70 research projects.
