Interests

Mr Kolias is a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant Neurosurgeon at the University of Cambridge & Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, UK. His clinical interests include surgery for brain tumours (special interest in skull base/pituitary surgery), neuroendoscopy, spine surgery, neurotrauma, and general neurosurgery.

He is interested in the methodology of clinical neurosurgical research (particularly trials) and global neurosurgery. He is the Co-Chief Investigator of four NIHR-funded neurotrauma randomised trials and the Associate Director of the NIHR Global Health Research Group on Neurotrauma. In the field of skull base/pituitary, he is working on i) the development of a core outcome set for pituitary surgery and ii) the implementation and evaluation of PET-guided surgery for pituitary adenomas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he is leading the neurosurgical theme of the CovidSurg portfolio of studies.
