Joseph Cichon, MD, PhD is dedicated to understanding how powerful, rapid acting anesthetics, such as ketamine, alter neuronal circuits in healthy individuals and neuropsychiatric diseases. His basic science approach spans neuroscience, psychiatry, and anesthesia with the hope that some of these mechanistic insights will motivate improved strategies for anesthesia and treatment of challenging neuropsychiatric diseases.

Max B Kelz, MD, PhD

Uses advanced ex vivo and in vivo approaches to study cellular and network interactions that underlie both the anesthetic state, and the transitions between states of anesthesia and wakefulness.

Andrew McKinstry-Wu, MD

Seeks to understand the contributions of central adrenergic circuits to hypnosis, arousal, and transitions between the two states.

Check out the McKinstry-Wu lab.

Alex Proekt, MD, PhD

Uses electrophysiology and advanced statistical approaches to  understand how the brain “reboots” during emergence from anesthesia.
