Derek F. Amanatullah, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDerek F. Amanatullah, M.D., Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert in hip and knee replacement. He helps patients with advanced arthritis and complex joint problems regain mobility and confidence. In addition to primary hip and knee replacements, he is frequently sought out for difficult revision surgeries, often fixing complications such as infection, instability, or persistent pain from prior procedures.
Dr. Amanatullah focuses on what truly lowers surgical risk: the skill, preparation, and coordination of the surgical team. He believes patients deserve care that relies on evidence and expert technique rather than placing the burden solely on weight or other patient factors. This patient-centered approach was highlighted by The New York Times.
As a researcher, he discovered an important new way certain infections can remain “hidden” in the body, shaping how surgeons diagnose and treat joint infections. His impact on the field earned him induction into The Knee Society, an honor held by fewer than 200 surgeons worldwide. Patients choose Dr. Amanatullah for his precision, innovation, and commitment to providing the safest, most effective joint care possible. -

Kanwaljeet S. Anand
Professor of Pediatrics (Pediatric Critical Care) and of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
On Partial Leave from 11/01/2025 To 03/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Anand is a translational clinical researcher who pioneered research on the endocrine-metabolic stress responses of infants undergoing surgery and developed the first-ever scientific rationale for pain perception in early life. This provided a framework for newer methods of pain assessment, numerous clinical trials of analgesia/anesthesia in newborns, infants and older children. His research focus over the past 30+ years has contributed fundamental knowledge about pediatric pain/stress, long-term effects of pain in early life, management of pain, mechanisms for opioid tolerance and withdrawal. Current projects in his laboratory are focused on developing biomarkers for repetitive pain/stress in critically ill children and the mechanisms underlying sedative/anesthetic neurotoxicity in the immature brain. He designed and directed many randomized clinical trials (RCT), including the largest-ever pediatric analgesia trial studying morphine therapy in ventilated preterm neonates. He has extensive experience in clinical and translational research from participating in collaborative networks funded by NIMH, NINDS, or NICHD, a track-record of excellent collaboration across multiple disciplines, while achieving success with large research teams like the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN). He played a leadership roles in CANDLE (Condition Affecting Neuro-Development & Learning in Early infancy) and other activities of the Urban Child Institute and UT Neuroscience Institute. More recently, he led the NeoOpioid Consortium funded by the European Commission, which collected data from 243 NICUs in 18 European countries.

Thomas Anthony ("Tony") Anderson
Clinical Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab's research focuses on two areas:
1. Focused ultrasound for peripheral nervous system modulation- We are interested in the potential of focused ultrasound to modulate peripheral nerves and improve both acute and chronic pain.
2. Pediatric perioperative outcomes- Our goals are to understand A) how various perioperative pain management strategies affect outcomes in children who undergo surgery and B) whether disparities in the perioperative pain management of children occur.
