My research focuses on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PKPD) evaluation of commonly used sedatives and anesthetics, as well as in the PKPD and mathematical foundations of closed-loop control of anesthesia using EEG as the controlled variable. In particular, I am interested in identifying disease-related or other patient phenotypes, which are associated with alterations in the clinical pharmacology of anesthetics and could affect perioperative outcomes. Currently, I study the effect of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on pain processing before and after the administration of opioids. Also, in the same area of research we investigate the effect of SDB on postoperative neurobehavioral and medical outcomes in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. In particular, we are interested in identifying metabolic and genetic markers for suboptimum neurobehavioral postoperative outcomes and correlate those with the severity of nocturnal hypoxia in this patient population.
