Brendon Yee

Professor Brendon Yee is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Sydney, affiliated with the Central Clinical School and the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research. His primary research focuses on sleep disorders, respiratory medicine, obesity-related conditions, and cardiovascular disease interplay. He has extensive experience in clinical trials involving sleep apnea therapies, obesity management, and respiratory physiology.

• Education: Not explicitly stated in the text, but his academic role implies advanced medical training.

Research interests include neuroendocrine aspects of sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, opioid-induced respiratory depression, and translational clinical studies. His work bridges sleep medicine with cardiometabolic health, particularly in severe mental illness populations. Over 150+ peer-reviewed publications demonstrate his contributions to understanding sleep-disordered breathing mechanisms and treatment outcomes.

Recent studies focus on personalized management of obstructive sleep apnea, opioid-sleep interaction, and melatonin use in older adults. Collaborative projects involve multidisciplinary teams addressing sleep's role in chronic diseases like COPD and cystic fibrosis.

Laboratory affiliations include the Woolcock Institute's sleep and respiratory research groups. He actively participates in clinical trials evaluating novel therapies (e.g., cannabinoids for insomnia, drug combinations for OSA).
