Matthew D. Neal: Turning Platelet Desert Into a Lifesaving Oasis at WTA 2026
Matthew D. Neal, Associate Professor of Surgery, Critical Care Medicine, and Clinical and Translational Science at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, shared on LinkedIn:
”Absolutely incredible honor to deliver the Founder’s Lecture at the Western Trauma Association WTA 2026 in Big Sky, Montana.
Joining the list of visionary leaders and innovators who have given this lecture in the past is deeply humbling.
I admire WTAs commitment to integrate basic and translational science into the program and the feedback from all of the attendees as we continue to work together to optimize trauma resuscitation.
Together we will solve the big platelet problems and drive innovation to save lives and find an oasis in the platelet desert.”
