Philip G. Morgan, MD

Scientific Profile

Areas of Specialty: Dr. Morgan is a board certified anesthesiologist with additional expertise in pharmacology, genetics and developmental biology.

Research Interests: Dr. Morgan’s research interests include: the effects of genetic changes and anesthetics on mitochondrial function, the mechanism of action of volatile anesthetics, and the genetic basis of anesthetic sensitivity. Most recently, Dr. Morgan used the genetic model, nematode C. elegans, to determine the correlation between mitochondrial defects and volatile anesthetics. His research has awarded him multiple research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), resulting in numerous peer-reviewed publications, abstracts, and invited lectures.
