Successful applicants will join a growing and dynamic research environment dedicated to translating innovative laboratory discoveries in basic mechanisms to human studies and clinical trials with a long-term goal to improve patients’ lives. We have an emerging program on ischemic spinal cord injury following TAAA surgery to repair an aneurysm (
* targeting open
* * surgical repair versus TEVAR’*), postsurgical delirium, neuromodulation and neuroprotection and perioperative pain management. One of our Tenured Professors is part of a recently funded NIH Blueprint Medtech Award in 2025 in collaboration with Cool Spine LLC (sponsored by NINDS & National Institute of biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering) through a U54 grant mechanism. He will work with his collaborators on an innovative project titled *"Intrathecal Cooling Catheter to Provide Neuroprotection to Avoid Paraplegia Resulting from Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aneurysm Repair"*  ().

We recently hosted the first international NIH R13 sponsored conference on strategies to combat ‘paraplegia after ischemic spinal cord injury in patients undergoing TAAA surgery. We also hosted an international conference sponsored by NIH to develop consensus guidelines for preventing opioid induced respiratory depression (OIRD).Our Pain Center is investigating lower back pain mechanisms and neuromodulation therapies in collaboration with the
* Spine Institute.
* NIH funded studies are evaluating spine treatment strategies for chronic low back pain, by targeting innovative strategies, including ‘biomarkers’, identification of low back pain patient phenotypes to optimize treatment outcomes, combining physical therapy with mindfulness for treatment, and developing a wearable sensor for enabling functional assessment of chronic lower back pain. Other areas of investigation seeking extramural funding for pain research, include ‘acute post-cesarian pain’, and an R34 study on opioid use disorder after surgery (OID), industry funded clinical trials or investigator-initiated studies on SCS-Neuromodulation therapy, and development of computational methods/models to better assess pain.

We pride ourselves in supporting our clinical trainees through FAER, MDSR and WSFA that includes medical students, residents, fellows and postdocs. The Department of Anesthesiology is innovating in both basic science and ‘patient-oriented research.’ On the clinical front, we have a robust clinical research infrastructure and are supporting more than 50 active trials, including multicenter industry funded clinical trials, investigator-…
