M Bruce MacIver
Professor (Research) of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study drug effects on the nervous system. Cellular, synaptic and molecular drug actions are investigated using electrophysiological and pharmacological tools in cortical/hippocampal brain slice preparations. We are also interested in mechanisms of neuronal integration and synchronization, especially related to patterns of EEG activity seen in vivo and in brain slices.

Edward R. Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy clinical research interests include the development of techniques and patient care pathways to improve postoperative pain control and other surgical outcomes. I am particularly interested in using regional anesthesiology, the science and practice of modulating nerve transmission in the central neuraxis or within peripheral nerves, to produce target-specific and opioid-sparing pain relief and enhance recovery after surgery or injury.

Ghazal Masarweh
Clinical Research Coordinator Associate, Multispecialty Anesthesiology
Current Role at StanfordClinical research coordinator in the Peri-Operative Neurocognitive Research Team (PORT) Laboratory in the Dept of Anesthesia. Currently coordinating and managing all active clinical studies focused on neurocognitive function in older adults undergoing major surgery, specifically the intersection between patient factors, perioperative stressors, postoperative delirium, longer-term cognitive and physical function, and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in the future. Studies include work across pre-operative, intra-operative and long-term postoperative assessment phases; including brain fMRI, intraoperative EEG, cognitive testing, delirium screening, and CSF/blood sample collection and processing.
