Kevin Fong
Dr. Kevin Fong is an anaesthetist and honorary lecturer in physiology at University College London. He holds degrees in medicine and astrophysics and chairs the UK Space Biomedical Advisory Committee. Kevin has spent much of this year working at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston investigating the effects of long-term space flight on the human body.
In the UK Kevin works with a team of researchers at University College London. This group, the Centre for Altitude, Space and Extreme Environment Medicine (CASE medicine), has a special interest in the parallels that exist between critical illness and the physiology of extreme environments. Kevin received a NESTA Fellowship to look into ways that the body’s reaction to space flight, and other extreme environments, can help in the fight against disease back on Earth – particularly in intensive care units.
Kevin was involved in the Space Camp event at the Dana Centre in July 2007
