Snow Medical Research Support

We are thrilled to share our partnership with the Snow Medical Research Foundation, whose support is enabling Dr Dale Edgar and Dr Sam Lodge to advance their research into the physiological response to burn injury and its long-term impacts.

Dale Edgar is leading the project Understanding and treating burn injury as a chronic disease, which examines the ongoing effects of burn injury beyond the initial event. This research focuses on sustained physiological changes, including effects on metabolism, immune function and recovery pathways, to inform models of care that better respond to patients following discharge.

In parallel, Sam Lodge is leading Metabolomic analysis investigating the impact of burn injury, applying advanced biological techniques to explore the body’s response at the molecular level. By identifying patterns in small molecules within the body, this work seeks to uncover markers that may explain variation in recovery, support earlier identification of complications, and guide more precise, individualised approaches to treatment.

We acknowledge Snow Medical Research Foundation’s support of this research and its potential to expand the body of knowledge on burn injury and its long-term impacts. We look forward to sharing updates with our FWF community on the progress of both projects and the impact of this partnership.
