Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine
Biography
Dr. Dylla has a passion for medicine and using research to advance her treatment of many patients. She pursued this passion for medicine and research as dual MD/PhD student at the University of Colorado in the Medical Scientist Training program where she studied the oncogenic role of microRNAs in Ewing Sarcoma. Dr. Dylla subsequently completed her Emergency Medicine Residency training and a dual Experimental Therapeutic and Emergency Medicine Research fellowships at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Since fellowship, Dr. Dylla has been the recipient of several career development and pilot study research grants. These have included an NIH Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health K12 and an American Heart Association Career Development award. Her work continues to focus on improving patient care and developing new acute stroke treatments in the prehospital and ED settings.
