Dr. Richard J. Levy, MD, FAAP is Professor of Anesthesiology and Pediatrics and Vice Chair for Pediatric Laboratory Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at Columbia University Medical Center. He is board certified in Anesthesiology, Pediatric Anesthesiology, Pediatrics, and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Levy completed his Pediatrics Residency at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and his Anesthesiology Residency at the University of Pennsylvania. Subsequently, he completed fellowships in Pediatric Anesthesia/Cardiac Anesthesia and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at CHOP. As a PI on an NIH K08 award, his initial area of investigation focused on mitochondrial dysfunction in the murine septic heart. Over the last several years, he has focused his investigation on the effect of different environmental exposures on the developing brain. His lab is interested in the neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects of anesthetics and the anti-apoptotic effects of carbon monoxide. He was previously awarded an NIH R01 grant to evaluate the protective effect of carbon monoxide offsetting the pro-apoptotic effect of anesthesia in newborn mice. Dr. Levy is currently funded by NIH to evaluate mitochondrial control of protein translation in Fragile X Syndrome. He has published over 90 original manuscripts, is an associate editor for Survey of Anesthesiology, and regular reviewer for Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Neurotoxicology and Teratology, PLOS One, the World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, and the American Journal of Physiology. He has served as an ad hoc reviewer for Science, Nature Medicine, Scientific Reports, and Nature Reviews Cardiology.
