Mr Mark Wilson

Position(s):

  • Consultant Neurosurgeon at Imperial College
  • Pre-Hospital Care Specialist with London's Air Ambulance.


His research interest is the hyper-acute management of brain injury the effects of hypoxia on the brain. His research work started with NASA in 1994 investigating Intracranial pressure in astronauts, and then after working overseas, he led the neurosciences research on Xtreme Everest in 2007. The translation of this work into the neuro-critical care world is significant and places greater emphasis on the inability of the venous system to drain hypoxia induced increased cererbal blood flow.
