Dr Phil Hennis

Research Associate Xtreme Everest 2

Dr Philip Hennis currently works as a research associate for CASE medicine. In this role he plans, conducts, and writes up basic and applied research projects, coordinates and lectures on the Exercise Physiology module of the MSc in Sports Medicine, Exercise & Health; and lectures on the extreme environment physiology BSc course at UCL.

Until recently, his research focussed on studying whether cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can predict surgical outcome. Over the last year his research focus has shifted to altitude physiology, which was the subject area for his PhD.

He joined CASE in 2009 and was an investigator for the Xtreme Alps expedition in 2010. He also led the scientific arm of the Bedford School Everest Study with Dr Dan Martin in 2012.

In 2013, he will run the exercise laboratory at EBC. In between research expeditions, his extreme sporting endeavours have been limited to one brisk walk up Highgate hill, which he completed in good time, and he completed the London Marathon. In his spare time, he runs, swims, and plays golf (badly).
