Education and career

Parnia graduated from Guy's and St Thomas' Medical School in London and received an MBBS in 1995. [1] [2] He later studied at the University of Southampton, working as a clinical research fellow and obtaining a PhD in cell biology in 2007. [3]

After completing fellowship training in pulmonary and critical care medicine in New York City, he joined the faculty at Stony Brook University School of Medicine. [4] Since 2015, sources describe him as directing resuscitation research within pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center. [4]

In 2013, he published Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death, a popular-science book about developments in resuscitation. [5]

In August 2024, he published Lucid Dying. [6]

Research

Parnia has been involved in research on resuscitation after cardiac arrest, including approaches to post-arrest care such as targeted temperature management and monitoring of brain oxygenation in critical care settings. [7]

He has also been associated with research and commentary on reports of near-death experiences in cardiac arrest survivors, including the AWARE study, a prospective study published in Resuscitation in 2014. [8] [9]
