E. Fiona Bailey, PhD

Associate Professor, Physiology
Research Summary: 

The Bailey laboratory studies the neural regulation of upper airway muscle activities and specifically, the role of chemical and pulmonary afferent feedback and selective electrical stimulation to alter airway geometry and volume in human subjects. A parallel line of enquiry focuses on OSA adults and the respiratory regulation of vascular health secondary to changes in endothelial function and/or sympathetic transduction.
