Anesthesiology

The Anesthesiology faculty of Weill Cornell Medical College are engaged in investigating a wide variety of topics relevant to anesthesia, critical care and pain medicine for the benefit of our current and future patients.

Current research efforts include:
  • Mechanisms of anesthesia, to better define how a diverse group of pharmacological agents produce anesthesia
  • Cardiovascular physiology, exploring how the heart adapts to the stresses of anesthesia and surgery
  • Neuropharmacology and cell signaling, to understand at the molecular level how drugs affect neuronal function
  • Neuromuscular pharmacology, developing and evaluating novel neuromuscular blocking drugs
