About Michael Cocchi
Dr. Cocchi currently practices as an attending physician in the emergency department and as an intensivist in the surgical intensive care units at BIDMC. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, he completed his residency in Emergency Medicine at the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency at BIDMC, followed by a two-year fellowship in Critical Care Medicine. He is board certified in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Neurocritical Care. His research interests have primarily focused on critical care topics, in particular cardiac arrest, sepsis, and shock. He is currently the Principal Investigator of a Phase II clinical trial studying the effects of esmolol in septic shock, funded by the American Heart Association. He is the course co-director of the biannual Harvard Shock Symposium, and has served as an evidence reviewer for the post cardiac arrest guidelines for the American Heart Association. In addition to his clinical duties and research, Dr. Cocchi’s administrative responsibilities include serving as the Director of Critical Care Quality for the Silverman Institute for Health Care Quality and Safety within the Department of Health Care Quality at BIDMC. In that role, he oversees all quality assurance-related matters, as well as quality improvement endeavors, across the 9 adult ICUs at BIDMC. He also serves as an Associate Medical Director for Boston MedFlight, an air and ground critical care transport service supporting the major teaching hospitals in Boston. A unifying theme of his clinical, research, and administrative work is improving the delivery of safe and high quality care to critically ill patients in the pre-hospital, ED and the ICU settings, in order to achieve improved outcomes for these most vulnerable patients.

About Maureen Chase
Dr. Maureen Chase began her research career at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with a clinical research fellowship in the risk stratification of Emergency Department patients with chest pain. After joining the faculty at BIDMC, she continued her work in the early identification of patients with critical illnesses while working towards her Master in Public Health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health, publishing her work in the identification of patients with sepsis and bacteremia. She was awarded a Harvard Catalyst Pilot grant for her prospective investigation into patients with dizziness at risk for stroke that involved collaboration between the Emergency Departments at the three Harvard teaching hospitals. Via her MPH training and work within the Center for Resuscitation Science, Dr. Chase’s research focus transitioned toward early interventions for patients with critical illness. In 2013, she was awarded a K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award via the NIH/ NIGMS for her project “Statin Therapy in Acute Influenza”. The study is a randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of atorvastatin on the host inflammatory response to influenza with both clinical and laboratory endpoints.
