Upon retirement from full-time employment in July of 1993, I have continued my academic activities on a part-time basis with a faculty appointment as a full time professional equivalent in the Department of Physiology. My current teaching activities include lectures and lab instruction in the basic medical physiology course, lectures in the electrophysiology section of the basic integrated neuroscience course for medical and graduate students, and participation as one of the moderators in a physiology graduate course (Cell and Tissue Transport Mechanisms). I have also initiated a new research interest in collaboration with colleagues in the Department of Anesthesiology. Its overall goal is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which clinically relevant concentrations of volatile anesthetics inhibit the extrinsic neural and intrinsic vascular cell regulatory mechanisms that control peripheral vascular resistance.
