Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on the autonomic nervous system as a modifiable determinant of physiological resilience and recovery across acute and chronic disease states. I investigate sympathetic modulation as a therapeutic strategy, examining how regional anesthetic and neuromodulation techniques, including cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, influence cerebral perfusion, cardiovascular regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and functional outcomes.
Through the integration of clinical trials, translational human physiology, and advanced physiologic monitoring, my work seeks to elucidate mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction and to develop evidence-based neuromodulation approaches for conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID). The long-term objective of this research is to advance interdisciplinary models of care and to translate autonomic science into therapeutic strategies that improve long-term patient outcomes. -

Amber Noelle Borucki
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Amber Borucki is an anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist whose focus is chronic pain management in children and adolescents/young adults. She focuses on reducing or managing pain from chronic conditions in children or pain that occurs after surgery. Dr. Borucki completed her medical degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. She attended anesthesia residency at the University of Chicago. She completed a fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology at Boston Children's Hospital as well as a combined adult/pediatric pain medicine fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham Women's Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Borucki worked for 5 years as a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital from 8/2017-5/2023. She was the Director of the Pediatric Anesthesia Service at UCSF during this time. Dr. Borucki transitioned to Stanford Medicine Children's Health in May 2023 and her clinical duties include working in the Emeryville satellite pediatric pain clinic, pediatric operating room, and pediatric pain inpatient service. Dr. Borucki is the Director for Pediatric Pain Education at Stanford, and has partnered with the Adult Pain Medicine program at Stanford to develop an exciting new pediatric pain fellowship track spanning Stanford Health Care and Stanford Medicine Children's Health. She will be the program director of of the pediatric component of this track.
Notable accomplishments include developing and co-chairing the UCSF Benioff Transbay Pediatric Pain Management Committee, development of the pediatric establishment of an adolescent/young adult transitional pain clinic, and serving on the Bridge to One Bay project to standardize pain care across all UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital locations. Dr. Borucki also was instrumental in helping UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital obtain ChildKind designation, a prestigious designation for a hospital indicating that it prioritizes pediatric pain care. She also has been instrumental in the development of the new Pediatric Pain Medicine Fellowship Track at Stanford.
Dr. Borucki has recently collaborated with Dr. Lauren Harrison of the Biobehavioral Pediatric Pain laboratory and together they were awarded a Pediatric Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine Pilot Award to examine biopsychosocial demographic data around chronic pediatric back pain. Their study (PEDS-Back) is now enrolling patients through the pediatric pain medicine clinic.
Dr. Borucki has been a member of the medical advisory council for the Make a Wish Bay Area chapter for almost 10 years. She is currently serving as the Secretary/Treasurer for the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) and also served as the program director for the 12th annual SPPM meeting. Dr. Borucki has also served on several committees through the American Society of Anesthesiologists, California Society of Anesthesiologists, and Women Innovators in Pain Medicine national society. Dr. Borucki served as an editorial board member for Paediatric and Neonatal Pain.
