Byers Lab |
 |
We are investigating peripheral neuro-inflammatory
interactions, using trigeminal and dental injury models. Altered
neuronal shape, cytochemistry and function occur for all parts of
the sensory fibers. Central neuronal plasticity is also being recorded,
especially related to opioid or neurotrophin mechanisms.

Deem Lab |
 |
The Deem lab is focused on the mechanisms of
control of pulmonary blood flow and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction,
with an emphasis on red blood cell-circulatory interactions.

Sharar Lab: Virtual Reality Analgesia |
 |
The Sharar lab investigates the efficacy, safety and
mechanisms of virtual reality technology as a non-
pharmacologic analgesic in both clinical and
experimental pain settings.

Su Lab |
 |
The Su Lab examines the signaling pathways leading
to anesthetic-induced contraction or relaxation of vascular smooth
muscle from different vascular beds.

|
Terman Lab |
 |
The Terman Lab studies spinal
mechanisms of pain transmission
and their modulation by repeated
activation and analgesic drugs. |

Whiplash Research Program |
 |
University of Washington researchers have grant from the National Institutes of Health
to
study whiplash injuries from auto accidents. Dr. Dennis Turk of
UW Anesthesiology is the principal investigator. |
