Clinical trials: Obstructive Ventilation Disorder
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, Inflammation
Investigating the Neuropathology of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Our multi-disciplinary research group works closely with people who have obstructive sleep apnoea. This is a life-long illness that causes breathing to stop during sleep, which leads to low-oxygen in the blood.
