Assistant Professor Apala R. Chowdhury serves in the Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at Western University. Their research explores neuroanesthesia and intraoperative stimulation mapping to improve outcomes during complex brain surgeries. They investigate emergence patterns from general anesthesia after epilepsy surgery to optimize patient recovery and safety. Their mission is to advance perioperative care through the study of anesthetic considerations in neurosurgical procedures. They are involved in the supervision of clinical fellows and residents within the London teaching hospitals. They focus on the intersection of neurophysiology and anesthesia to enhance precision in the operating room environment.
