Research summary

Patrick Sharp's research focuses on anesthesia and pain management (analgesia) in laboratory and zoo animals, including rodents, sheep, pigs, turtles, monkeys, and elephants. Much of the work tests and compares drug combinations (such as meloxicam, buprenorphine, dexmedetomidine, and tiletamine/zolazepam) for their effectiveness in sedating animals and reducing pain after surgery or procedures. The work also touches on animal facility design and management, and detection/eradication of animal pathogens in research colonies.
