    HIGH ALTITUDE RESEARCH EXPEDITION: BOLIVIA, 2021

    ABOUT US 

     

    APEX (Altitude Physiology Expeditions)  was founded by medical students at the University of Edinburgh in 2001. Since then, hundreds of students have taken part in expeditions investigating the effect of altitude and hypoxia (low oxygen levels) on the human body. The latest expedition, APEX 6 will be in June 2021...
