Dr. Wood is proud to announce that Dr. Charles Emala has received an NIH award from NIGMS, entitled “Mechanisms of anesthetic effects on tachykinin induced airway tone” for $ 1,323,200 million. These studies have demonstrated for the first time the expression of GABA receptors on airway smooth muscle cells and are elucidating the potential therapeutic role of activation of GABA_A receptors in relaxing airway smooth muscle in diseases such as asthma and COPD. 

Congratulations to Chas Emala and his research group.  You can learn more about his research on the research section of our website.

We will soon be starting to invite medical students to interview for our residendy program.  A major change is the new clinical base year that  we are starting for the anesthesia residency program.

We believe that the clinical base year is going to be a wonderful addition to our program, and our congratulations to Dean and Brian for being chosen to be Co-Directors of this program.
