Current research activities include pathophysiologic and immunobiologic studies on the mechanisms of upper airway neuromuscular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea; studies on cardiovascular interactions in sleep-disordered breathing, including participation in a multi-centre trial on treatment of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with congestive heart failure, and a local study on pre-eclampsia and sleep-disordered breathing; and clinical studies on the interactions of asthma and sleep-disordered breathing and on novel clinical associations and innovative treatment approaches for obstructive sleep apnea.Sleep, Apnea, Control of breathing, Upper airway, Cardiovascular interactions, Inflammation
