TOPIC: NEW PHARMACOTHERAPY FOR SLEEP APNOEA
BIOGRAPHY:
Dr Amal Osman is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, Flinders University. Her research involves the development of simple clinical tools to measure how collapsible the upper airway is during wakefulness and sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnoea. Dr Osman is interested in understanding the mechanisms that contribute to airway closure in sleep apnoea and developing new tools to predict responses to much needed targeted and novel OSA treatments. These tools have now been used in several clinical trials and have recently been recognised by Women In Innovation, Innovation Category, 2021 and InDaily's 40Under40, 2022 awards.
