Christian Guilleminault was a researcher affiliated with Stanford University in the United States. Their work primarily focused on the intersection of medicine and neuroscience, with significant contributions in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Throughout their career, they addressed key areas in physiology, genetics, endocrine and autonomic systems, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine.

The scientist's research centered on several interconnected topics:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research
  • Neuroscience of respiration and sleep
  • Craniofacial Disorders and Treatments
  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Cleft Lip and Palate Research
  • Tracheal and airway disorders
  • Oropharyngeal Anatomy and Pathologies

Christian Guilleminault's publication record included multiple papers in notable venues such as L Orthodontie Française, Sleep Medicine, Annals of the American Thoracic Society, and the Journal of Clinical Medicine. The most frequent venue for their publications was L Orthodontie Française. Key recent papers included:

  • "Objective and subjective long term outcome of maxillomandibular advancement in obstructive sleep apnea" (2020), published in Sleep Medicine
  • "Automated Apnea-Hypopnea Index from Oximetry and Spectral Analysis of Cardiopulmonary Coupling" (2021), published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society
  • "Inflammatory Factors: Nonobese Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Adenotonsillectomy" (2020), published in Journal of Clinical Medicine
  • "Surgical and non-surgical maxillary expansion: expansion patterns, complications and failures" (2022), published in L Orthodontie Française
  • "Persistent pediatric obstructive sleep apnea treated with skeletally anchored transpalatal distraction" (2022), published in L Orthodontie Française

The scientist collaborated frequently with several researchers, highlighting a pattern of co-authorship with:

  • Kasey Li
  • Eileen Leary
  • Stacey Quo
  • Connor Li
  • Yu-Shu Huang

The scope of Christian Guilleminault's work included both clinical and physiological aspects of sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea across various age groups. This extended to surgical interventions and the study of craniofacial anatomy in relation to airway function. Their research contributed to understanding the mechanisms and treatment outcomes of respiratory and sleep-related disorders.
