The Department of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine is committed to world-class research investigating important scientific and clinical questions that relate to the care of our patients. Our work includes basic science, physiology, observational studies, clinical trials, implementation studies, and invention of new drugs and devices. We are also strongly committed to the development and training of the next generation of laboratory researchers and clinician-scientists. Research at Weill Cornell Medicine is richly enhanced by collaborations within a tri-institutional environment that also includes Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
The research mission of the Department of Anesthesiology is spread across two areas.
- Clinical and Translational Research includes principal investigators conducting a range of grant-funded, industry-funded, and departmentally funded multi-institutional and single-institutional studies.
- Basic Science Research includes principal investigators working out of three major laboratory spaces at Weill Cornell Medicine, and other principal investigators working collaboratively in laboratories at Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Our investigators are funded by many internal and external organizations, including the NIH (over $5 million per year in funding), and FAER.
We welcome your interest and enquiries.
