OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This poster shares a case study on how a group at The Johns Hopkins University formed a translational lab missioned to reinvent currently existing treatments for acute spinal cord injuries, implanting in humans within a five-year window. The poster showcases how a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been implemented. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The translational team; Holistic Electrical; ultrasonic and Physiological Interventions Unburdening those with Spinal cord injury• (HEPIUS) Lab is composed of many parts as listed below: neurosurgeons; engineers; radiologists; public health specialists; statisticians; patient advocates; ethicists; sonographers; researchers; academic collaborators; and specialized industry partners. Sometimes physically separated; the team has videoconferencing carts across locations to stay connected at every step in the process. The lab facilities were organized with several key facets in mind: research and development (R&D); prototyping; fabrication; verification; and validation (V&V); animal model testing; cadaveric testing accessibility; mock operating room for simulations; and collaboration hubs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Due to communications with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), DARPA, patient advocates, ethicists, internal review boards, and other bodies, the team has a clear path towards clinical translation. The team has the following stages in progress or scheduled: manufacturing devices, benchtop testing, rat and pig models, biocompatibility testing, cadaveric testing, and clinical use. The lab space was designed to achieve these core functions. For rapid, in-house manufacturing, the lab has unique capabilities including 3D metal printing. For experiments, industry collaborations and equipment acquisitions enable the highest quality research. These technologies are assembled into diagnostic, therapeutic, testing, and manufacturing hubs to drive real change in the lives of many; the patient comes first. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This laboratory, team, and system of operation is aimed to enable novel practices for the clinical translation of spinal cord medical solutions. For researchers interested in launching their own translational work, this poster may serve as a reference, example, and inspiration for similar hopeful university-centered hubs.
