Dr. Bala Subramaniam is director of BIDMC’s Center for Anesthesia Research Excellence and the Ellison “Jeep” Pierce Associate Professor of Anesthesia at BIDMC. Dr. Subramaniam has built an extensive research program alongside his clinical career and has developed a deep understanding of the basic and clinical science that informs all areas of the Center’s mission. His current research focuses on perioperative outcomes, with particular interest in postoperative neurocognitive function and the effect of meditation in the perioperative setting and on wellness resilience. Dr. Subramaniam is conducting pioneering research at the intersection of cardiac anesthesiology and neuroscience to determine how clinicians can reduce postoperative delirium, an acute state of confusion and inattention. He is also collaborating with BIDMC investigators to explore the role of meditation in reducing postoperative delirium. Dr. Subramaniam’s track record and excellence in research and clinical care combined with his commitment to understand how meditation can transform our approach to consciousness and cognition forms a strong foundation on which the Center will be built and will thrive.
