Aaron Fox is a Professor in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. His research primarily focuses on the mechanisms underlying the physiological effects of anesthetics and the hypoxic responses in carotid body glomus cells. He has published numerous articles in reputable journals, such as the Journal of Neurophysiology and the Journal of Physiology. His work has contributed to a better understanding of how caffeine affects recovery from general anesthesia and the role of T-type calcium channels in neuronal activity under hypoxic conditions. Fox's research aids in comprehending the complex interactions between various neurotransmitters and anesthetic agents, providing crucial insights into cardiorespiratory homeostasis in health and disease. Additionally, he has investigated the regulatory roles of endogenous signaling molecules like hydrogen sulfide in meditating hypoxic sensing mechanisms. His extensive publication record underscores his contributions to pharmacological and physiological sciences, specifically in relation to anesthetic neurobiology and cellular physiology.
