Nicholas Franks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicholas Peter Franks FRS FRSB (born 14 October 1949) has been Professor of Biophysics and Anaesthetics at Imperial College London since 1993.[1] His research focuses on how general anaesthetics act at the cell and molecular levels as well as with neuronal networks.[2] Franks holds patents on use of xenon gas as a neuroprotectant [3] and has published research on the use of the anesthetic properties of xenon.[4]

He was educated at Mill Hill School and King's College London (BSc 1972; PhD 1975).[5] He was a lecturer in biophysics at Imperial College London from 1977 to 1989 and a reader in biophysics from 1989 to 1993.

Awards and honours

Along with being made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2011,[6] Franks was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2004,[7] and a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists in 2008.[8] He was awarded the Gold Medal, Royal College of Anaesthetists in 2003,[9] the Excellence in Research Award, American Society of Anesthesiologists in 2006[10] and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Montreal in 2011.[11]
