A brief overview of what CASE is doing at present
Altitude
Our flagship project is the Xtreme-Everest medical research expedition to the summit of Mount Everest (8848m) which took place in the spring of 2007.
Space
CASE has collaborative projects with NASA exploring gene-environment (microgravity) interactions and the development of new medical technologies.
Dive and Hyperbaric
Investigating the association between mitochondrial dysfunction and sepsis using hyperbaric hyperoxia. Currently completing a Cochrane Systematic Review of the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in necrotising fasciitis. Mixed gas diving and recompression table modeling.
Extreme Temperatures
Members of our team have a great deal of experience treating those with heat and cold injuries, lecturing on these topics around the world.
Aviation
We are part of a collaborative group holding an EU FP7 grant "The integrated cabin environment". Our contribution is an investigation of cabin hypoxia tolerance in individuals with cardio-respiratory limitation.
