Research Focus: David investigates human physiological and endocrine responses to extreme environments, particularly hypoxia and thermal stress. His work emphasizes biomarker discovery and pre-acclimatization strategies.
Key Projects: Includes field studies in Nepal, Bolivia, and the Alps identifying brain natriuretic peptide as a biomarker for hypoxia-related illnesses, and lab-based hypobaric chamber experiments. Thermal stress research involves soldier performance in hot environments and biomarker identification for exertional heat stroke.
