About

Professor Papadopoulos has been a consultant neurosurgeon at St. George’s Hospital since 2006 and a Professor of Neurosurgery at St. George’s, University of London since 2013.

He graduated from the medical schools of the Universities of Cambridge (BA 1990, MD 1997) and Oxford (BM BCh 1993) and completed my Neurosurgery Training in London and San Francisco (FRCS 1998, FRCS(SN) 2002, CCST 2005). Professor Papadopoulos’s research is in spinal cord injury; he developed novel treatments for acute and chronic spinal cord injuries such as neuromonitoring from the injury site in the intensive care unit as well as spinal cord blood flow monitoring in the operating theatre to minimise the risks of surgery. He has also developed a new operation for spinal cord injury termed expansion duroplasty.

Professor Papadopoulos is the lead investigator of the ISCoPE trial for spinal cord injury. He has supervised the training of several neurosurgeons from the UK and overseas who are now consultants and has been an invited speaker in national and international meetings.
