Jonathan S. Jahr, M.D.


Professor

Research Interests:
Dr. Jahr has been actively involved in clinical and basic science research for the past 16 years. His interests include Blood Substitutes and has studied these in multiple models and has lead numerous clinical trials. Additionally, he has interests in acute pain and lead a number of trials in intravenous acetominophen and COX-2 Inhibitors. He lead the Department's Clinical Research in the past and continues to work actively with students, residents, post-graduate researchers, and faculty in his areas of interest.
