A Live-Streamed Event hosted from the Tufts University European Center in Talloires, France
A world renowned expert in the field of snoring & obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), being the first researcher to elucidate the pathogenesis of sleep apnea & to demonstrate that sleep apnea is caused by an anatomical narrowing of the pharynx. Dr. Remmers is a well known respiratory physiologist, who contributes to the fields of the neurobiology of respiratory rhythmogenesis, chemoreception, & the pathophysiology of the control of
breathing.
Published over one hundred peer reviewed publications in the area of respiratory physiology & served two terms as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Physiology. His recent research has been dedicated to oral appliance therapy (OAT) to address the needs of OSA patients who are dissatisfied & non-compliant with CPAP. A key factor inhibiting the widespread use of OAT is the challenge of determining which patients will respond to this therapy.
Dr. Siegel is board certified in both Sleep Medicine and Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (ENT). Dr. Siegel is the Medical Director of Otolaryngology for Massachusetts Eye and Ear’s Longwood facility in Boston. He is a member of the Faculties at Harvard Medical School, and Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr. Siegel attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for both his undergraduate and Medical School training where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1995.
He completed his general surgery internship at Northwestern University in Chicago and completed his residency at Harvard University in Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery. Dr. Siegel has an active medical practice with primary interest in sleep disorders, allergy and pediatric otolaryngology. In addition, he regularly teaches courses and classes at national conferences and for academic medical/dental training programs.
He has taught deep phenotyping methods to investigators (physicans and PhDs) locally, nationally and internationally. His non-invasive methods of estimating the causes of sleep apnea from routine sleep studies are being applied to translational research studies internationally.
Dr. Yoon has worked on a pioneering technique, performing maxillary distraction osteogenesis for the treatment of OSA and has co-authored chapters in several leading textbooks. Currently her active areas of research include craniofacial growth modification, customized distraction techniques, surgery-first approach of maxillomandibular advancement surgery technique, and the genomic study to identify genetic anatomical factors relating to OSA.
