Anesthesia Research

Faculty Labs

Our lab studies how biological, psychological, and social factors drive chronic postsurgical pain and opioid use in children to improve personalized care.

Our lab studies how epilepsy develops by investigating cellular and molecular changes—particularly disrupted mTOR signaling and abnormal hippocampal neuron integration—to guide new treatments and prevention strategies.

Our lab studies how sensory neurons become sensitized, especially in musculoskeletal pain and development, to better understand pediatric pain mechanisms and inform new treatments.

Our lab focuses on improving pediatric hospice and palliative care by advancing quality measurement and enhancing clinician well-being to support compassionate, sustainable care.
