Abstract

The Wolf Creek Conferences on Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation began in 1975, and have served as an important forum for thought leaders and scientists from industry and academia to come together with the common goal of advancing the field of cardiac arrest resuscitation. The Wolf Creek XVII Conference was hosted by the Max Harry Weil Institute of Critical Care Research and Innovation in Ann Arbor, Michigan on June 14-17, 2023. A new component of the conference was the Wolf Creek Innovator in Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation Science Award competition. The competition was designed to recognize early career investigators from around the world who's science is challenging the current paradigms in the field. Finalists were selected by a panel of international experts and invited to present in-person at the conference. The winner was chosen by electronic vote of conference participants and awarded a $10,0000 cash prize. Finalists included Carolina Barbosa Maciel from the University of Florida, Adam Gottula from the University of Michigan, Rajat Kalra from the University of Minnesota, Ryan Morgan from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Mitsuaki Nishikimi form Hiroshima University, and Jacob Sunshine from the University of Washington. Ryan Morgan from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was selected as the 2023 Wolf Creek Innovator Awardee. This manuscript provides a summary of the work presented by each of the finalists and provides a preview of the future of resuscitation science.
