Research Labs

Duke Anesthesiology’s world-class team of researchers is devoted to preclinical studies that can lead to critical discoveries, ultimately advancing patient care. Basic science researchers generate new concepts and theories to form the basis of progress and development in a variety of fields. Our department is committed to research that focuses on mechanisms of chronic pain, a common affliction requiring breakthrough science to transform the way we provide care for patients. Our researchers work in independent yet collaborative laboratories, and co-investigate with multiple disciplines within and outside of Duke University Medical Center.
