Summary

  • Dr Thomas Oxley MBBS BMedSc FRACP PhD is a vascular and interventional neurologist and world expert in endovascular bionics. He is founding CEO of Synchron, Inc; Instructor, Attending, and Director of Innovation Strategy in the Department of Neurosurgery, Mount Sinai Hospital; and Laboratory Head of the Vascular Bionics Laboratory, University of Melbourne, Australia.
    Dr Oxley has performed over 1300 endovascular neurosurgical procedures at Mount Sinai Hospital, including cerebral angiography, aneurysm coiling and clot retrievals in acute stroke. He completed both internal medicine and neurology residency in 2013 at the Royal Melbourne and Alfred Hospitals, Melbourne, Australia. In 2015 he competed a stroke fellowship at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and was an investigator in the EXTEND-IA trial that demonstrated the paradigm-shifting efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of stroke and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
    Dr Oxley commenced a PhD in neural engineering in 2012 at the University of Melbourne. During his PhD he raised AUD $8.5 million dollars in funding from US and Australian governments, forming a lab for the development of a novel stent electrode (stentrode) neural interface. This included substantial funding from the US defense organization DARPA. In February 2016 the breakout scientific report of the technology was published in Nature Biotechnology (IF 41). His research laboratory at the University of Melbourne currently includes three post-docs and two research engineers. He has supervised 3 PhD students and 20 honors students. The lab collaborates across 16 departments including medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, engineering, physics and pathology. Dr Oxley has published 54 internationally peer reviewed articles that have accumulated 2984 citations, with 13 as first or last author and with an H Index of 10.
