Robert W. Neumar, MD, PhD, is Professor of Emergency Medicine and Professor of Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. He is also a member of the Max Harry Weil Institute for Critical Care Research and Innovation and the Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) Laboratory. Dr. Neumar served as Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at UofM from 2012 to 2024, during which time the department benefited from significant growth of its clinical, education, and research missions.
Dr. Neumar is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of cardiac arrest resuscitation. His basic science research has focused on the molecular mechanisms of brain injury caused by cardiac arrest and therapeutic strategies to improve neurologic outcomes. His laboratory and clinical research have also explored the role of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as a rescue strategy for refractory cardiac arrest. Dr. Neumar co-chaired the international writing group that published the first consensus statement defining post-cardiac arrest syndrome in 2008. He previously chaired the American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee and currently serves as Co-Chair of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), which generates global consensus on science and treatment recommendations for CPR, emergency cardiovascular care, and first aid.
Dr. Neumar has long track record of research mentorship and collaboration. He is currently the contact-PI for Neuro-EM Scholars Program, which is a national K12 Career Development Program funded by NINDS, NIA, and NIDA to train early-career emergency medicine faculty in research on neurological disorders in pre-hospital and emergency department settings. He previously led the NHLBI-funded K-12 Career Development Program in Emergency Critical Care Research at UofM and the AHA Strategically Focused Research Network (SFRN) Center entitled the Michigan Resuscitation Innovation and Science Enterprise (M-RISE).
Dr. Neumar's significant contributions have earned him several prestigious accolades, including the ACEP Award for Outstanding Contribution in Research, the SAEM John Marx Leadership Award, the AACEM Distinguished Service Award, and election to the National Academy of Medicine.
