The UCSD Anesthesiology Research Lab
The facility was organized in 1989 to: i) perform investigations into pharmacology and physiology of systems relevant to
anesthesia and analgesia; and ii) establish contract research in areas of developed expertise. This group has a long and active
history of investigation, both preclinical and clinical, into new technologies and drug development. The strength of the group is
its high level of scientific competence and its proven contract organization.
Research is funded by three mechanisms: NIH grants, Research Contracts and Research Recharge agreements. Contracts and recharge
agreements are carried out under protocols approved by for-profit sponsors. Preclinical and clinical contract and recharge activity
is accomplished by full-time university employees. Recharge activities permit services to be undertaken with protection of sponsor
intellectual property.
Mechanisms of Pain: Veterinary Short Course at UC San Diego
August 15-18, 2007, San Diego, California
This four day intensive will provide in depth consideration of basic mechanisms for both veterinary practioner and scientist interested in a variety of topics in pain research.
For 10 years, UCSD Dept. of Anesthesiology has put on a well-attended review course of the systems that mediate nociceptive processing in humans. This year,
due to the growing interest in the veterinary community, the course has expanded to include topics of basic pain mechanisms as they apply in all animals.
