Research Interests:
Delirium is the most common problem bedevilling older people in hospital.  Delirium causes increased mortality, dementia and nursing home placement.  Yet little is understood about the basic pathophysiology of delirium. Using a multidisciplinary, bedside to lab bench approach, we hope to unlock the mystery of delirium.
