BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

 

John W Mulholland is the Chief Clinical Perfusion Scientist at the Hammersmith Hospital. He is on the Editorial Advisory Board of the international journal ‘Perfusion’. John graduated from Edinburgh University with a BEng in Fluid Dynamics and qualified as a Clinical Perfusionist at Barts and the London NHS Trust.

His research and contribution to the field of Clinical Perfusion includes blood damage during extracorporeal circulation and the use of new techniques like Computational Fluid Dynamics and Particle Image Velocimetry to predict blood damage at the design stage. John is currently writing up his PhD in this subject at Queen Mary University of London. His many current clinical interests include miniature Cardiopulmonary Bypass as well as the use of Direct, Peripheral and Percutaneous Impeller Left Ventricular Assist Devices.

As well as his in house lecturing, John is also an integral member of the lecturing teams on the BSc in Biomedical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London, the MSc in Clinical Perfusion and the MSc in Surgery at Imperial College London.

John is one of the founder members of London Perfusion Science, a group of Perfusionists who work in nine of the London Hospitals, not only in Cardiac surgery but with their pioneering autologous therapies department (involving Platelet Gels, Isolated Growth Factors, Fibrin Glues) in the Spinal, Orthopaedic and more recently Tissue Viability disciplines. The group is research active in a variety of fields including Platelet Sequestration and Cell Salvage. They work closely with bodies such as the National Blood Service and the Medical Defence Union with the objective to improve techniques, protocols and perfusion related patient outcomes.
