David Monks, MBChB

Department of Anesthesiology Featured Member: March 2020

David is originally from London in the UK and joined WashU in 2018 to further his academic ambitions in obstetric anesthesiology. His current clinical research aims to profile the pharmacokinetics of oxytocin at cesarean delivery and examine ketamine as a possible preventive intervention for postpartum depression. David met his wife, Scarlett in London in 2012 but they have now spent the majority of their relationship outside of the UK (Canada and Australia before their current stay in the USA). He and his family are enjoying settling down and making St. Louis their home with their baby daughter, Millie. Despite the blue that dominates his photograph (still celebrating the Stanley Cup, perhaps), David and his family are big Liverpool FC fans (soccer) and are very hopeful that the Reds will end 30 years of hurt by winning the English premier league in 2020!
