Dr. Peter Stacpoole’s well-funded NIH research focuses on intermediary metabolism and new drug development. He and colleagues have developed a prototype for a novel class of investigational drugs for the treatment of acquired or inborn errors of mitochondrial energy metabolism and lactic acidosis. Dr. Stacpoole directs General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at UF, an NIH-funded center charged with advancing medical knowledge in a clinical setting since 1962. He is also the director of the NIH-funded UF Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) that will ultimately create a national consortium of CTSAs throughout the nation This institutional integration will transform how clinical and translational research is conducted, ultimately enabling researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently and quickly to patients, and will integrate many nontraditional sciences into the CTSA to facilitate the bench-to-bedside paradigm.
