The headquarters for the Center for Resuscitation Science are located inside the newly constructed Translational Research Laboratory Building (see left for directions). In addition, our various faculty members conduct research in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, andthe Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, premiere basic science, strong cardiovascular sciences including a new Cardiovascular Institute, a level One Trauma Center, a strong Emergency Medicine department that provide medical direction for all the EMS providers for Philadelphia and the county all exist. No medical campus in the US offers such a robust environment for the development of a new Center.
In addition, the faculty leaders within the Center for Resuscitation Science have strong national and international ties with active collaborations that will be strengthened in the coming years. There is a need for new global leadership in resuscitation science and a new Center for Resuscitation Science at the University of Pennsylvania will develop these leaders as well as the next generation of resuscitation researchers. Vast international opportunities for resuscitation science also exist, as emergency medicine and resuscitation science are rapidly developing in Europe, China, Japan, and South American. A Center for Resuscitation Science at Penn can interact with investigators in these countries and help facilitate training of young scientists, clinician scientists, international collaborations in research, industrial partners, and exchange of scientific discourse and leadership.
