Simonson Lab, part of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine, focuses on understanding human adaptation to high altitude through an integrative physiological and genomic approach. The lab investigates the adaptive and maladaptive variations in populations from the Tibetan Plateau, Andes, and Ethiopian highlands, aiming to elucidate how natural variation influences responses to hypoxia and related health challenges.
Additionally, the Center for Physiological Genomics of Low Oxygen (CPGLO) seeks to enhance the quality of life for diverse human populations by integrating social, biological, anthropological, and clinical research. Through their work, Simonson Lab aims to maximize insights into hypoxia adaptation and its implications for common diseases.
