Dr. Border earned international acclaim as an authority on trauma care patients. In the early 1970’s, he led a team of UB researchers in developing treatment plans to prevent the stress of severe, multiple trauma from producing a chain of biochemical events that, if not treated with combination protein and glucose therapy, could lead to death. His pioneering work continues to save thousands of accident and injury victims from multiple‐system organ failure. Much of the lifesaving research over the years was funded at UB through grants from the National Institute of General Medical Services.
