Irshad Chaudry, Ph.D., made a major development in his research. Chaudry, the director of the Center for Surgical Research in the UAB School of Medicine, found that synthetic estrogen could potentially save the lives of soldiers on the battlefield. The female sex hormone is associated with prolonging survival despite significant blood loss. As a result of this development, UAB received a $10 million U.S. Department of Defense contract.
