Philip Smith Lab

• Work in the Philip Smith Lab explores several key topics within the field of sleep medicine. We investigate the role of obesity and neural control in sleep-disordered breathing as well as the impact of metabolic function on sleep apnea. We also research the ways in which HIV and its treatments impact a patient's sleep. Our studies have included the effects of HIV and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on both sleep and daytime function as well as the relationship between systemic inflammation and sleep apnea in men with HIV.

Research Summary

Dr. Smith established the Sleep and Breathing Research Laboratory in 1980. He has worked with the Respiratory Sleep Research Group which is comprised of full-time Adult and Pediatric pulmonary investigators engaged in epidemiologic, clinical and basic research in sleep and breathing.
