Eric Meyer, M.D. is an anesthesiologist and mountaineer from Steamboat, CO with a passionate interest in human adaptation and performance at altitude. As a premed student, he was one of eight subjects in Operation Everest II, a landmark altitude physiology experiment which simulated in a decompression chamber the ascent of Mount Everest and tested the body's acclimatization process.

In medical school, while guiding on Mount Rainier, he led a study of the effects of acetazolamide and dexamethasone in the prophylaxis of acute mountain sickness. Eric has climbed extensively in North and South America, as well as the Himalayas, where he and a partner reached 7300 meters on Shishapangma on an alpine style climb. In 2004, he summitted Mount Everest via the Northeast ridge, and participated in the electroencephalographic study of sleep patterns at altitude.

He is involved in developing world health care as a volunteer with Operation Smile, providing surgical care for children with cleft lip and palate deformities. Other hobbies include yoga and cross-country skiing.
