About Carrie Sims Lab

Welcome to Dr. Carrie Sims’ Lab!

In the Sims Lab, our research focuses on immunologic and metabolic changes in septic and hemorrhagic shock. We are particularly interested in the role of sirtuins, a family of proteins known to promote resilience to cellular stress, in preventing mitochondrial dysfunction in shock states. Additionally, our projects include testing engineered protein oxygen carriers as a potential replacement for blood transfusion in hemorrhagic shock.
