The Department of Anesthesia at the University of Iowa is a leader in clinical and basic science research. Clinical investigations occur in all subspecialties including critical care and cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, and regional anesthesia. Basic science research topics are pain, analgesic pharmacology and learning and memory. There is an emphasis on training physicians and scientists on the fundamentals of basic and clinical research. The Department of Anesthesia is keenly interested in providing residents and fellows with the background for developing a career in research.

 I received my doctorate in pharmacology at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy studying the effects of dietary fats on carcinogen metabolic activation. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, where I studied the metabolism of anesthetics and halogenated compounds by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, I came to The University of Iowa in 1984. At the time, there was interest in the metabolism and toxicity of small fluorinated compounds as they were employed not only as anesthetics but as the new non-chlorinated refrigerant substitutes.
