Institutions

Atul Malhotra is the director of research for pulmonary, critical care, sleep medicine, and physiology at the University of California, San Diego's Medical School.[1] In addition, he is the Peter C. Farrell Presidential Chair and tenured professor of medicine at the same university.[2] He is the author of almost 800 research publications, reviews, and book chapters.[3]

Early life and Research

Atul Malhotra is a US citizen born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He attended the University of Alberta in Canada, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a Medical degree in chemistry from the same university.[4] He completed his internal medicine residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.[5][6]

Malhotra does research in the domains of pulmonary medicine, intensive care unit (ICU), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and other respiratory biology disciplines.[7][8] He studies the biology underlying the consequences of sleep apnea as well as its causation.[9] His group uses computational modelling, cell culture techniques, rodent models, epidemiology, and clinical trials in addition to its primary focus on human physiology.[10][11][12] Finding new therapeutic targets for sleep apnea is the main goal of his lab to meet a critical public health need.

Career

Atul Malhotra, who has more than 25 years of professional experience, is currently the director of research for pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at the University of California, San Diego. He served as a professor of medicine, a sleep medicine specialist, the head of the division for pulmonary and critical care, and the Kenneth Moser Professor during his time at the University of California, San Diego.[13]

Awards and honors

Notable patients

In 2011 Malhotra diagnosed Shaquille O'Neal with moderate sleep apnea as part of a sleep study conducted at Harvard Medical School.[17]
