Felipe A. Lisboa

Felipe A. Lisboa, M.D. is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) School of Medicine in Bethesda, MD. He serves as the Surgical Critical Care Initiative (SC2i) Associate Director of Clinical Research and SC2i USU/WR Biorepository Director. With over ten years of experience in both basic and clinical research, Dr. Lisboa has established himself as a prominent researcher in surgical critical care, precision medicine, and inflammatory response mechanisms.

Dr. Lisboa's research interests span surgical critical care, precision medicine, inflammatory response mechanisms, trauma and wound healing, angiogenesis, immunology, molecular biology, and the application of machine learning in clinical research. His work particularly focuses on multiomics approaches (genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to understand surgical complications including wound failure, local infection, sepsis, pneumonia, ARDS, AKI, and VTE in military and civilian patients.

His publication record demonstrates a clear progression from fundamental molecular immunology research to applied clinical trauma medicine, with recent work emphasizing precision medicine approaches to surgical decision-making. His articles reveal a consistent focus on inflammatory biomarkers, wound healing mechanisms, and computational methods to improve outcomes for trauma patients.

Dr. Lisboa's scientific contributions include developing clinical decision support tools, expanding the SC2i USU/WR Biorepository inventory, and implementing clinical study protocols for surgical critical care research. His work bridges basic science with clinical applications, particularly in combat casualty care.
