Translational- patient-oriented research- studying
the relationship between control of breathing and Upper Airway Mechanics
during Sleep.

Sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome is a prevalent disorder
leading to serious public health consequences. The responsible mechanism
for sleep apnea and hypopnea is not known. Our lab is investigating the
effect of inhibited ventilatory drive on upper airway mechanics in human
during sleep using fiberoptic imaging.
