Description of Research ExpertiseMy major research interests are as follows:1) To investigate the molecular recognition mechanism of opioids and their receptors using biophysical, biochemical, thermodynamic, protein engineering, and high-resolution structural approaches. 2) Pharmacological effects of opioid receptor agonists. 3) Anesthetic interaction with proteins 4) Preoperative evaluation and outcome Description of Clinical ExpertiseAnesthesia for general surgery patientsPerioperative Medicine outside OR anesthesia services optimal opioid usage in perioperative period Description of Other ExpertiseEditor in Chief, Journal of Anesthsia and Clinical ResearchPartnership with Chinese anesthesiolgists Selected PublicationsJi F, Wang Z, Ma N, Riley J, Armstead WA, Liu R.: Herkinorin dilates cerebral vessels via kappa opioid receptor and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling in a piglet model.
