About Dr. Martinez-Quinones

Dr. Patricia Martinez Quinones is a Fellow in Traumatology, Surgical Critical Care, and Emergency Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. She grew up in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Dr. Martinez Quinones earned her undergraduate degree from Baylor University and completed medical school at the University of Puerto Rico. While completing her general surgery residency at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Dr. Martinez Quinones obtained a PhD with Distinction in Biomedical Sciences, majoring in Physiology. Her doctorate work focused on circulating mitochondrial damage associated molecular patterns in trauma-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome, the innate immune system activation in both traumatic injury and intraabdominal sepsis, and how mitochondrial damage leads to vascular endothelial dysfunction in both disease states. Outside of being a surgeon-scientist, Dr. Martinez Quinones is passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion for underrepresented minorities in surgery.
