Dr. Dan Vena of Harvard Medical School

Biography:

Completed a PhD from the University of Toronto under supervision from Dr. Azadeh Yadollahi studying the pathogenesis of OSA from fluid shift. In 2018 I underwent a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School in the Sleep Disordered Breathing Lab under supervision of Dr. Andrew Wellman, where I focused on developing PSG airflow-derived estimates of the pathophysiological traits of OSA, such as pharyngeal collapsibility and site of collapse, and applying them to the prediction of treatment response to non-PAP alternative such as mandibular advancement devices and hypoglossal nerve stimulation. In 2021 I took a faculty position at the Harvard Medical School where I am continuing on this line of investigation.
