Our Science

Women have been climbing and living at altitude for centuries — the science has never caught up. Meet the researchers changing that.

🚧 This page is a work in progress — we're adding all 18 research projects soon. Check back for updates!

Hormones and acute mountain sickness (AMS).

Principal Investigators: Martha Tissot van Patot, Ph.D.,

Linda Keyes, MD, Monika Brodmann, MD,

This is the core data from the expedition, to be shared with all investigators so they can correlate it with the parameters they are evaluating.

Principal Investigator: Lauren Maier, MSc

Affiliate Investigator(s): Phil Ainslee, Ph.D.

This study will address key mechanisms of high-altitude adaptation – the relationship between iron regulation and lung and brain blood flow.
