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. He was global principal investigator for the SURMOUNT-OSA study which led to the FDA approval of tirzepatide for treatment of moderate to severe sleep apnea in people with obesity [13] .
