The Department of Surgery and Anaesthesia conducts a broad spectrum of research ranging from translational science to clinical studies. Our research interests cover a broad range of surgical disciplines, as well as anaesthesia, emergency medicine and cardiovascular physiology and medicine.
There are opportunities for higher research degrees within the department. In addition, we are happy to assist surgical and house surgeons and registrars with aspects of their clinical research projects including study design, ethical approval processes and statistical analysis. If you would like to discuss either research degree options or would like help with a clinical project, please contact Associate Professor Peter Larsen Email: peter.larsen@otago.ac.nz
