John Lyons, MD

Dr. John Lyons received his MD degree at Emory School of Medicine and completed all of his post-graduate work at Emory as well: his general surgery residency, NIH T32 and F32-funded research sabbaticals, and acute care surgery and surgical critical care fellowships. He will serve as an attending on the acute and critical care surgery service at Emory University Hospital and in the ICUs of the Emory Critical Care Center. 
 
During his residency, Dr. Lyons did a three-year research sabbatical in the lab of Emory sepsis and shock investigator Craig Coopersmith, MD. For the first two NIH T32-funded years, he worked with Dr. Coppersmith and transplant immunologist Mandy Ford, PhD, on investigations of intestinal changes during sepsis and the effects of cancer on the condition. For the third NIH F32-funded year, he conducted studies of novel cell death proteins in sepsis with Dr. Coopersmith.
