The London, India-born brain trauma specialist and professor of anesthesia at the University of Cambridge has been awarded one of the highest honors by Britain's King Charles III for "services to neurocritical care".
Professor David Krishna Menon, head of the department of anesthesia at the University of Cambridge, was awarded Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by the monarch at the weekend in her annual birthday honors list.

“I am very honored to be nominated for a CBE and accept it on behalf of everyone who has worked with me – and had a very rewarding career,” Professor Menon said.
Menon, P.G.K. Son of.Menon – a senior executive at All India Radio (AIR) in Delhi, grew up in the city before moving to train in medicine, his research interests focus on neurocritical care, secondary brain injury, neuroinflammation and acute metabolic imaging. Was. brain injury.
