Albert Dahan
I graduated from de Vrije University in Amsterdam (MD; 1986) and Leiden University (PhD; 1990). After receiving my PhD degree, I began my residency in Anesthesiology in 1990 (a 5-year program) and founded in 1992 the Anesthesia & Pain Research Unit, a clinical research united dedicated to cardiorespiratory research.I became staff anesthesiologist in 1995 and full professor of Anesthesiology in 2014. The research unit, which I lead since its inception, performs outcomes research in anesthesia and pain (treatment) with special focus on respiratory physiology and pharmacology, and aims the widespread distribution of gained knowledge in close collaboration with academic and non-academic partners.
I am currently in the process of initiating a close collaboration with the FDA. The work in the research unit is made possible by a multitude of grants that I received from national and international funding agencies including ZonMW (The Hague), DoD, the Danish Pain Society, and commercial partners.
Currently there are 20 PhD students working in department under my leadership working on novel anesthesia techniques, phenotyping pain patients as biomarker of pain treatment (for example by using cornea confocal microscopy to quantify small fiber neuropathy), and the pharmacology of opioids and anesthetics.
I published over 380 peer reviewed papers (more than 320 available on PubMed) on respiration, pain, pain treatment, anesthesia, and opioid-induced respiratory depression (my h-index is 62). I recently adopted a novel approach in my work in that it is aimed at the economic principle of utility, i.e. incorporating the intended benefit and multiple non-intended harms of an opioid (or any other drug) into one function.
This work is aimed at studying but also developing opioid analgesics with potent analgesia but minimal side effects. This later work received a lot of attention (editorials, interest of the lay press) and led to new grants and new work.
