The Integrative Hypoxia Physiology Lab

We discover how oxygen limitation influences human physiology from the molecular to organ-system level. Our research utilizes an evolutionary medicine-inspired approach and couples high-altitude exposure studies with molecular methods. 

By characterizing mechanisms of both successful adaptation and maladaptation to hypoxia among human populations, we are bridging the gap between basic physiological mechanisms and their implications for clinical pathologies.
