    Research Overview

  • In addition to his many teaching, mentorship and clinical activities, Dr. Jones has been a prolific researcher with interests in airway smooth muscle physiology and pharmacology, and the cellular and biochemical mechanisms by which volatile anesthetics and reactive oxygen species alter smooth muscle function. More recently, his research interests include health services research with an emphasis on models of perioperative care. He has authored or co-authored more than 160 scholarly works. His studies have been supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Jones also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the International Anesthesia Research Society.
