Anthony G. Doufas, M.D., Ph.D.

Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Clinical Focus
Anesthesia, Neurosurgical Anesthesia
Research Interests
My research focuses on the relationship between sleep abnormalities and pain behavior and opioid pharmacology in the postoperative, as well as chronic pain setting. More specifically, I am interested in delineating the effect of the different components of sleep-diosordered breathing, like nocturnal recurrent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation on pain behavior in the acute and/or chronic care setting.
