About the Department and Safar Center for Resuscitation Research:

The Department of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh is one of the only stand-alone academic departments focusing on critical care medicine in the United States. Along with its clinical partner UPMC, department faculty provide clinical services to critically ill adult and pediatric patients across the 30+ hospital UPMC health system. The Department’s research activities span bench-to-bedside-to-population health, supported by over $12 million in annual NIH funding and two T32 training grants.

The Safar Center for Resuscitation Research at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine was founded by the late Dr. Peter Safar in 1979, initially as the International Resuscitation Research Center. Recognizing Dr. Safar’s innumerable contributions to the field of resuscitation medicine, it was renamed the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research in 1994. The Center’s research programs address the development of therapeutics and diagnostics for acute brain injury across the continuum of care, from the field, emergency department, intensive care unit, rehabilitation, and long-term outcome, and across the age spectrum from infants to the elderly. The Center’s mission is to identify and promote ever-improving methods to prevent premature death and reduce associated disability from traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, and other forms of acute brain injury, in people with “hearts and brains too good to die.”

To achieve its goals, center investigators in the departments of Critical Care Medicine, Neurological Surgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pediatrics, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, and others at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, work closely with investigators in numerous other departments and schools on the Pitt campus, along with a host of national and international collaborators. In addition to conducting basic, translational, and clinical research, Safar Center investigators also train the next generation of resuscitation researchers. The Safar Center is an 11,000-square-foot state-of-the-art research facility located in the Rangos Research Center on the Campus of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh that houses the laboratories of scientists and clinician-scientists working across a broad spectrum of fields important to resuscitation medicine.
