Gregory Smith, M.S
I'm a third year medical student interested in anesthesiology with a research interest in the neuro-immune axis. I hope to study the efficacy of currently used anesthetic agents for inflammatory conditions such as postoperative cognitive dysfunction, depressive disorders, and chronic pain.
