Modes of Electrical Trauma
Modes of Electrical Trauma
Everyone should be aware of the hazards of electrocution by this time. Delving further into electrical hazards related to the power industry the primary hazards addresses with an arc-flash is the incident energy release - electrocution, temperature, and mechanical trauma. The focus is generally related to the physical modes of injury - that is burns and electrocution.
What if the potential modes of injury extend well beyond the physical perspective? Dr. Raphel Lee, founding member of CETRI based in Chicago, will introduce us to the other modes of injury that can result from involvement with electrical hazards.
Please join us for an informative hour long virtual presentation held on Dec 10th starting at noon. PHDs will be available for those who successfully reply to the questions posted in the chat during the event.

Modes of Electrical Trauma
"Raphael Lee, the Paul and Allene Russell Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, holds appointments in Surgery (Plastic), Medicine (Dermatology), Molecular Medicine, and Organismal Biology and Anatomy (Biomechanics). Lee is a surgeon and biomedical engineer. His professional research interests have focused on the effects of physical forces on tissue injury and healing processes, pharmaceutical control of scar formation, and reconstructive surgery.
He completed doctoral studies in the Harvard-MIT program in biomedical engineering. He completed his general surgery residency at the University of Chicago and plastic surgery residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard University). He is cofounder of the first multidisciplinary clinical research program for treatment of survivors of electrical shock injury (Chicago Electrical Trauma Research Institute).
In 2004, Lee initiated a new graduate course to integrate basic engineering system science into the teaching of cellular biology at the University of Chicago. It develops more systematic insight into molecular healing and tissue stress responses using basic principles of biophysics and biochemistry. Lee’s research has resulted in new therapeutics, which translated into establishment of three biotechnology companies.
Lee received the American College of Surgeons Schering Scholar Award in 1978, became a MacArthur Fellow in 1981 and a Searle Scholar in 1985, and was elected to both the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering. He has been elected to fellowship in: American Association of Plastic Surgeons, Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Biomedical Engineering Society, AIMBE, and American Association for the Advancement of Science. Selected awards for mention are the James Barrett Brown Award from the American Association of Plastic Surgeons for "advancing knowledge in the field of Plastic Surgery." In 1997, Lee was awarded the American Electrical Power Association Award for “Advancing Electrical Safety and Health.""
