I will determine the efficacy and safety of crystalloid resuscitation fluids in conventional models of care. This is a fundamental and unresolved question in Intensive Care Medicine and will have an impact on clinical practice worldwide. I will also consolidate and enhance a series of projects to provide the next generation of clinician-researchers with high-quality research opportunities. These include projects in sepsis, traumatic brain injury, and endocrine function in critical illness.

Summary
The theme of this Fellowship is to improve treatment outcomes using a genomic-based Precision Medicine approach. This goal will be achieved by 3 closely linked projects that harness the power of gene sequencing and advances in biosensor technology, coupled with careful clinical and health economic evaluation. While the emphasis is on epilepsy, the research will extend to other major disease areas of global health significance. The potential socioeconomic impact of these innovations is enormous.
