Description: Hypoxia is a constant threat throughout life. The International Hypoxia Symposia brings together international experts from many difference fields, with clinicians, clinical researchers and basic scientists present to discuss the state-of-the-art regarding normal and abnormal (pathophysiological) responses to hypoxia.
