Nadia Lunardi, MD, PhD
In an interview with the International Anesthesia Research Society, Dr. Nadia Lunardi reflects on her transformative journey as a researcher from her initial IARS Mentored Research Award in 2014. At the time Dr. Lunardi was not an American citizen, and the IARS was one of very few organizations allowing non-US native investigators to apply for funding. Her award-winning project focused on understanding the effects of early exposure to anesthesia on the trafficking of synaptic vesicles in the developing brain.
