I am Colette Galet, PhD, ELS, and Associate Research Scientist in the Acute Care Surgery Division, part of the Department of Surgery, at the University of Iowa. My role is to support research conductedi in the Level I trauma Center and ABA verified Burn Center. My experience in basic, translational, and clinical research provides me with the tools to identify the needs of the Principal Investigators to develop strong research programs. Since I started in the division, I have been involved in several projects, including burn research, frailty, fall risks and fall prevention, and projects related to the opioid crisis, sepsis and more. My research focuses on frailty and how it affects patients' outcomes and management. My main focus is on older adults, fall, frailty, and fall prevention. My goal is to tackle this problem from all angles, from prevention to management of trauma/burn patients.
