Untreated OSA is associated with major health consequences. <50% of OSA patients tolerate the main therapy, continuous positive airway pressure. New treatments are urgently required. This proposal aims to use & develop novel approaches to identify the causes of OSA on a per patient basis, improve current therapies & test if new targeted therapies can be used to treat OSA in appropriately selected patients.
