Beecher/Mallinckrodt Laboratories for Molecular Pharmacology Research
Research in the Mallinckrodt Center for Molecular Pharmacology Research focuses on eludicating the molecular mechanisms by which general anesthetics act to produce anesthesia and its side effects. Our work aims to create better treatments and ultimately a safer and more efficient practice of anesthesiology.
