PUBLICATIONS
APEX research has led to the publication of multiple scientific papers. Continued research into the effects of high altitude on human physiology has the potential to benefit not only future travellers to high altitude, but also patients who are affected by a shortage of oxygen because of lung disease or critical illness.
