Dr. Ansgar Brambrink relocated
from Germany in August 2003 and is Professor of
Anesthesiology and Peri-Operative Medicine at OHSU.
Dr. Brambrink is active as both a clinician and a
research scientist. His clinical research pursuits
have included effects of modified immune response
following severe trauma, techniques for regional
anesthesia and innovative airway devices in
pediatric anesthesia. Dr. Brambrink has also studied
experimental ischemia in a variety of animal models.
He has worked on strategies for preconditioning with
pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, exploring their
neuroprotective mechanisms and their potential for
clinical application in neuroanesthesia and the
neuro-ICU. Most recently, his research interests
have focused on regeneration and plasticity after
experimental stroke. His long-term goal is to
investigate the effects of preconditioning and
gender on post-ischemic neurogenesis and the
underlying mechanisms.
Dr. Brambrink received the M.D. from Westfälische
Wilhelms-University in Münster, Germany. In 1993, he
completed his residency in Anesthesiology at the
Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz, Germany; and
in 1994, he earned the Ph.D. in Medical Psychology.
From 1993 to 1995, Dr. Brambrink worked as a
Clinical and Research Fellow at The Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine, and he attributes
this experience as a turning point in his medical
career. After he returned to Mainz, he completed a
Critical Care Fellowship; and in 2002, he completed
his "Habilitation", based on his experimental work,
and earned the prestigious "Venia Legendi" from the
Johannes Gutenberg-University, recognizing him as a
Lecturer ("Privat Dozent") in the field of
Anesthesiology.
