(Philadelphia,
PA) - Raymond S. Roginski, MD, PhD, has been
appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia
at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Dr. Roginski attended Yale University, where he earned
his BS and MS degrees in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry.
He went on to receive another MS, his MD and PhD from
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.
He performed his internship and residency in Anesthesiology
at Albert Einstein Affiliated Hospitals in the Bronx,
New York. Dr. Roginski was an Associate Professor of
Anesthesia at the University of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School,

Dr. Roginski's research focuses on perioperative neuroprotection
and neurodegenerative diseases, including autism. His
Anesthesia interests include invasive neuroradiology,
cardiology, ENT (ear, nose & throat), urologic surgery,
day surgery and resident teaching. While at UMDNJ-Robert
Wood Johnson Medical School, he discovered and mapped
a pair of glutamate receptor-like genes named GRINL1A
(chromosome 15) and GRINL1B (chromosome 4) in humans.
He and his colleagues have also found these genes in
rats and mice. At Penn, he continues to investigate
the function of these genes and their role in neuroprotection
and/or autism. To support his research, he has received
