Author Information

Roderic G. Eckenhoff is an anesthesiologist and scientist at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He holds the Austin Lamont Chair in Anesthesiology and Critical Care and is Vice Chair for Research in that department. His primary research interest has been in the molecular pharmacology of general anesthetics, work that revealed effects on protein structure and function that should translate to neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammation. Niccolò Terrando is a neuroscientist at Duke University, North Carolina. His laboratory studies the pathogenesis of perioperative neurocognitive disorders, with emphasis on the mechanisms whereby surgery affects brain function and how regulation of neuro-immune processes can be targeted to develop safer mitigation strategies to prevent these common postoperative complications.
