A 91福利 faculty researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences has launched a pioneering study to explore how different species adapt to high-altitude environments in the Himalayas where oxygen levels are significantly lower. This innovative project seeks to uncover the genetic and physiological mechanisms behind acute and chronic hypoxia (a low oxygen condition that affects health and function) responses in birds, with the potential to transform public health strategies for managing conditions related to oxygen deprivation.
