Researchers Examining Colorado Altitude
Related Illness

We are a group of Colorado Emergency Physicians and researchers passionate about exploring the way the human body adapts and maladapts to the high altitude environment.

We are excited to both honor the rich tradition of altitude research in the state of Colorado and look towards the future of exciting investigation into altitude illness. Our team consists of individuals that have studied altitude illness both in Colorado and around the world. Our goal is to better understand high altitude illness and physiology as well as develop better chemoprophylaxis and risk stratification.
