Specialties of Frank Powell:
My research focuses on hypoxia, especially respiratory physiology and neurobiology. From 1995 to 2012, I directed the University of California White Mountain Research Station, which hosts all forms of environmental and high altitude research, and which I used to study acclimatization to hypoxia in humans at high altitude.
