| Meet our Keynote Speaker!
Dr. Richard Schwab Understanding the Improvements in OSA with Weight Loss Medications
Dr. Schwab is a Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania and Chief of the Division of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Schwab received his undergraduate degree from Haverford College and his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He completed his Pulmonary/Critical Care and Sleep Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in 1991 . Dr. Schwab has emerged as a preeminent investigator in the field of upper airway imaging and sleep apnea. He has developed and utilized sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging and volumetric analysis paradigms to study the mechanisms leading to sleep apnea. His research has resulted in seminal observations about the genetics, pathogenesis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. He has shown the importance of
the lateral pharyngeal walls and the volume of the tongue in the pathogenesis of sleep apnea. In addition, he has shown that reductions in tongue fat mediate the improvement in sleep apnea with weight loss. Finally. Dr. Schwab has successfully mentored a number of pulmonary/sleep fellows and he started the ASPIRE fellowship which provides a pipeline for next group of pulmonary/sleep leaders. |
