Science & Innovation

The main focus of the HP2 Laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular and metabolic complications of sleep apnea syndrome.
Intermittent hypoxia is the stimulus responsible for most of these harmful consequences, but our team is also developing expertise in adaptations related to high-altitude hypoxia and, more recently, in the preconditioning role of moderate hypoxia, which could play a beneficial role in the management of chronic diseases.
