Biography

Dr. Kutcher is a board-certified surgeon and intensivist with fellowship training in trauma, acute care surgery, and critical care. As a practicing trauma and acute care surgeon at Mississippi's only Level One trauma center, he is also the vice chair of Mississippi's state Committee on Trauma. In addition to a busy practice in clinical surgery, he is co-director of the surgical intensive care unit and an associate program director of UMMC's surgical critical care fellowship. His NIH-funded research laboratory focuses on coagulation abnormalities in trauma and critical illness, specifically evaluating the role of innate immune mediators underlying platelet and fibrinolytic abnormalities.
