Emma Elizabeth Biggs

Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Research Interests
My main research interests are in the field of chronic pain and learning. I am interested in understanding how processes related to learning can contribute to the development, spreading, and treatment of chronic pain. I am especially interested in understanding how fear and pain interact across complex brain networks.

Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)
Clinical Focus
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Leaks, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Anesthesia
Research Interests
We are committed to promoting an understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and ensuring that all patients who are suffering from cerebrospinal fluid leaks receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment of this devastating, chronic, and fixable condition. We believe this can be best accomplished in a multidisciplinary setting involving expertise in radiology, neurology, and interventional pain medicine.

Julia Kaltschmidt

Associate Professor of Neurosurgery
Research Interests
The lab’s primary research interest is to understand how specific neuronal circuits are established. We use mouse genetics, combinatorial immunochemical labeling and high-resolution laser scanning microscopy to identify, manipulate, and quantitatively analyze synaptic contacts within the complex neuronal milieu of the spinal cord and the enteric nervous system.

Anson Lowe

Associate Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology), Emeritus
Research Interests
The laboratory is focused on the relationship between injury, wound healing, and cancer. Esophageal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers are a focus. We are particularly interested in the regulation of cell signaling by EGFR, the EGF receptor. In addition to cancer pathogenesis, active projects include the development of new diagnostic assays and drugs.
