My primary research focus is to understand the mechanisms underlying sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, and develop better ways to diagnose and treat them. I do this by undertaking university-based epidemiology studies in a large sample of community participants, by undertaking smaller hospital-based physiology studies and by working with US and Australian start-up companies to design and test new treatment for sleep disorders.

我的主要研究重点是了解睡眠相关呼吸障碍的机制，如阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停，并开发更好的方法来诊断和治疗它们。我通过在大量社区参与者样本中进行基于大学的流行病学研究、进行基于医院的小型生理学研究以及与美国和澳大利亚初创公司合作设计和测试睡眠障碍的新治疗方法来做到这一点。
