Research from the Department of Anesthesiology was in the spotlight at the 17th Annual Anesthesiology Research Exposition on November 11 and 13.
The Expo highlights the department’s basic science, clinical and translational research along with quality improvement intitiatives, and provides an opportunity for faculty, residents, fellows and guests to engage in discussion about their research methods and findings.
Dr. Charles Emala was the afternoon's guest speaker, delivering a special research talk on "Anesthetic Effects on Peripheral GABAA Receptors." Dr. Emala is a professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Anesthesiology at Columbia University, and he is the newly appointed Chair of the Board of Directors for the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER).
