ALIGNING RESEARCH PATHS TO INTERSECT WITH FUTURE TREATMENT
COL Eli Lozano, Commander, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, SS, MD
Combat & Casualty Care spoke with WRAIR Commander Eli Lozano
regarding current and forward-looking challenges to focusing medical
research in areas of prolonged field care and hurdles in areas such as
hemorrhage and infection control on a future global battlefield where the
tyranny of distance will likely tax the achievement of positive outcomes.
C&CC: As the Commander of WRAIR, what are your primary focus points and command priorities as you support the military services’ needs?
COL Lozano: Hola! Let me begin by stating what an amazing privilege it is to Lead an organization with such a dynamic legacy and honored history.
As the WRAIR Commander, my top priority is nested with that of my Commanding General (CG), Brigadier General (BG) Edward Bailey, who leads the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (MRDC) – To ensure that WRAIR research is directly aimed at protecting, preserving, and enhancing our Nation’s top weapon system – the American Warfighter! Our Walter Medic Team carries a noteworthy responsibility to assess, research, and deliver timely and relevant therapeutic and materiel solutions that can protect warfighters world-wide. #
