4 Celeste C. Finnerty, PhD, Shriners/UTMB Galveston Celeste C. Finnerty, Ph.D., Associate Professor in Surgery, Associate Director for Research: Since 2003, I've been active in burns research at the Shriners Hospital for Children Galveston / UTMB Department of Surgery. My areas of focus have been on translational research projects related to improving acute and long term outcomes following a burn injury. Projects have included clinical drug trials, the genomic and proteomic responses to burn, and molecular studies of hypertrophic scarring. As a co I on an ABA/DOD funded clinical trial, and an investigator on other clinical trials, I bring the unique perspective of a translational scientist to the BSAP.
