Philip E. Bickler, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor
Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care
University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Bickler's studies concern how neurons from different types of animals adapt to the lack of oxygen or situations, such as hibernation. This research is being applied to develop better strategies for neuroprotection and to provide safer anesthetics to individuals with aged or injured brains. Dr. Bickler continues to collaborate with capnography pioneer John W. Severinghaus, and earned his M.D. from the University of California, San Diego and his Ph.D. from University of California, Los Angeles.

Matthew R. Lewin, M.D., Ph.D.
Clinical Assistant Professor
Division of Emergency Medicine
University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Lewin's research focuses on two areas of respiratory physiology related to the management of ill and injured patients in the emergency department and pre-hospital setting. The development and introduction of quantitative capnography is a priority for the improvement of patient care and safety. Accordingly, the main goal of his present work is to improve C02 monitoring and develop methods for the early detection of airway compromise and impaired gas exchange in the most vulnerable and unstable patients. Dr. Lewin received his M.D. from the University of Texas and the Ph.D. degree in Physiology from the University of Texas-M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
