Andre is a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine at Kings College Hospital with a special interest in cold weather and altitude physiology. He was part of the 2007 and 2013 Xtreme-Everest expeditions which were collaborations between Duke University USA, University of Southampton and University College London that exploited the oxygen-thin air at high altitudes to provide critical insights into how intensive care patients might be helped in the future.
Andre will be using his experience gained there as well that available at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health to further the understanding of how the human body reacts to extremes of stress, and in Rob’s particular case, how it reacts after having suffered a major burn injury.
