Life, elevated: hypoxia research in the peruvian andes

Dr. Tatum Simonson and members of her lab traveled to the Peruvian Andes in March 2019 to conduct research on the causes, symptoms, and prospective treatments of hypoxia for high-altitude populations. The research was done in support of the lab's project, "Seq-ing Discovery: A Genetic Journey from Mount Everest to Machu Picchu," which received the National Geographic Explorer grant in 2018.
