Miles Berger, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Duke University School of Medicine. His research team focuses on understanding the cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and delirium, and whether these disorders are caused by perioperative changes in Alzheimer’s disease pathways. They are also interested in whether delirium or POCD are associated with an increased long term risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This work has the potential to improve long term outcomes for the more than 16 million Americans over age 60 who undergo anesthesia and surgery each year.
A light breakfast will be served. This event is co-sponsored by Drs. Sharon Inouye (NIA R24AG54259 and K07AG041835) and Edward Marcantonio (NIA K24AG035075).
