The Department of Anesthesia has a very active clinical and laboratory research program. Residents are encouraged to gain research experience by participating in research projects, making presentations at anesthesia meetings, and writing papers for publication. A CLINICAL SCIENTIST TRACK offering two options in the advanced CA-3 year is available. Residents have a choice of participating in a number of clinical research studies or gaining experience in a basic science laboratory. Laboratory experience may include the following: molecular mechanisms of intracellular Ca+2 regulation, dantrolene activity and malignant hyperthermia; the molecular biology of excitatory amino acids in the central nervous system; the pharmacology of phosphodiesterase inhibition; and the cerebral effects of nitric oxide inhibition (vide infra).Laboratories are located on the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses where many of the department's investigators have their own laboratories or collaborate on projects with the faculty of the Departments of Pharmacology, and Physiology and Biophysics of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Department of Biomedical Engineering of Rutgers University, and/or with the investigators from various Pharmaceutical Companies.
