Brian A Williams is a Professor of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and affiliated with the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System in Acute Pain Medicine (2010–2025). His career spans clinical practice, research, and education in anesthesia and perioperative care.
- Education: BS from Kent State University, MD from Northeast Ohio Medical University, MBA from University of Pittsburgh, Anesthesiology Residency at UPMC, and a Research Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh.
Research Interests focus on optimizing anesthesia techniques for improved patient outcomes. Past work includes restructuring anesthesia care to prioritize regional anesthesia, analyzing healthcare economics, and developing multimodal analgesia strategies. Current projects explore five-drug anti-emetic prophylaxis for intrathecal morphine use and opioid-sparing total intravenous anesthesia to avoid hyperalgesia. His lab at the PCPR (Pittsburgh Center for Pain Research) investigates pharmacoeconomic interactions between postoperative nausea and opioid escalation.
Scientific Awards include funding from the NIH/NIAMS, NIH/NIDA, and the Department of Defense. His grants support translational research on perineural analgesia and anti-emetic strategies in gravity-free environments.
