	TRAINING Medical School: University of Ottawa (1986-90) Anesthesia Postgraduate Training: McGill University (1992-96) Research Training: M.Sc. Neurological Sciences - McGill University (1996-97) Clinical Pain Research Fellowship - U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) (1997-2000)
	DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES Director of Clinical Pain Research Resident Research Co-ordinator
	RESEARCH INTERESTS Our long-term academic goals are to improve the clinical management of pain by advancing knowledge about analgesic pharmacology and sensory pain mechanisms. Using a translational ("bench-to-bedside-to-bench") approach, these goals are being addressed through clinical and/or laboratory investigation in the areas listed below:
	Analgesic drug combinations in acute and chronic pain     Impact of movement-evoked pain on postoperative functional recovery     Prescribing patterns and impact of therapy on quality of life in neuropathic pain     Effects of gabapentin on analgesic tolerance to opioids     Analgesic effects of excitatory amino acid (e.g. glutamate) modulation
