Duke CTSI announces the publication of “Oxysterols for Treatment of Perinatal Brain Injury,” a case study documenting the translational journey of Duke researcher Dr. Eric Benner’s groundbreaking work to treat and reverse brain injuries in premature infants.
Researchers can use this case study as a blueprint of a successful translational science project and a guide to helpful research resources both within and outside of Duke. For non-research audiences, it offers an accessible way to understand the science and its benefits to society.
This case study, produced using the Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM), provides an inside look at how Dr. Benner’s project developed from an idea into a commercial venture with a clear path to helping real-life patients.
The case study includes:
- Overview of the project
- Research team composition
- Timeline of funding and commercialization milestones
- Institutional resources used
- Summary of benefits, demonstrated and potential
