His research program encompasses critical care trial operations and acute resuscitation science. Dr. Urdaneta serves as a site Co-Investigator for National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded clinical trials, including the RECOVER initiative investigating the pathobiology and long-term sequelae of post-acute COVID-19, and the AIMS study focused on acute sepsis sub-phenotyping and precision resuscitation strategies in the intensive care unit.
