George M. Austin MD, 1916-2002

Neurosurgeon, Neuroscientist, Professor, Mathematician, Researcher and Author.

Dr. George M. Austin, a neurosurgeon, made significant contributions to the field, particularly in the study of brain aneurysms. He developed "The Austin Equation," a mathematical model to describe blood flow in aneurysms. His research also examined the factors that contribute to aneurysm enlargement and rupture, using techniques like microscopic analysis and immunofluorescent staining. In addition, Dr. Austin's research looked at stroke and microsurgical techniques. He published over 200 articles on these and other subjects. While serving at Loma Linda University, Dr. Austin founded Neurological Research: A Journal of Progress in Neurosurgery, Neurology and Neuro Sciences. In addition to Dr. Austin's research and clinical work, he was a committed teacher and mentor to aspiring neurosurgeons. Throughout his career, he held prominent academic positions at several universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Oregon Medical School, and Loma Linda University. At both Oregon and Loma Linda, Dr. Austin established accredited residency training programs, demonstrating his dedication to educating future generations of neurosurgeons.
