Save the date for the Therapeutic AIH Workshop 2026, hosted by the UF Breathing Research and Therapeutics Center.

We’re looking forward to gathering with colleagues by the beach for thoughtful, engaging conversations around therapeutic acute intermittent hypoxia (tAIH) and neuromodulation strategies in function and recovery.

When: October 1–4, 2026
Where: Dune House Hotel & Spa (formerly One Ocean), Atlantic Beach, FL

About the Workshop

Since 2016, the UF BREATHE Center has hosted researchers from across the world at our biannual Intermittent Hypoxia Workshops. These events feature laboratories interested in intermittent hypoxia, its physiological impact, and its therapeutic potential. Topics range from basic science (cellular/network mechanisms) and translational studies in animal models or humans through the potential for clinical utilization. Although the emphasis is on plasticity and the therapeutic potential of low-dose intermittent hypoxia, there is also consideration of the transition to pathogenesis once intermittent hypoxia becomes too severe.

This year, the Therapeutic AIH Workshop is dedicated to advancing our understanding of how tailored acute intermittent hypoxia (tAIH) and related neuromodulation strategies drive functional recovery in health and disease. This meeting will dive into the mechanisms, current breakthroughs, and clinical applications of neuromodulation for conditions impacting breathing and motor function, highlighting collaborative opportunities across the basic, translational, and clinical communities.

Join leading scientists, clinicians, and innovators for lively discussions, and insightful presentations on the Florida coast.
