The Haouzi Laboratory is an NIH funded laboratory of physiology that specializes in the study of fundamental mechanisms regulating breathing and circulation and their implications in specific life-threatening conditions produced by severe hypoxia, created by an opioid overdose, circulatory shock or mitochondrial poisons. The research is using in vivo models which are developed to mimic as much as possible realistic clinical situations.
Dr. Haouzi is a researcher and a staff physician in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. He is the current medical director for the Cleveland Clinic’s Pulmonary Function Testing laboratories. He is an international expert in respiratory physiology. He has authored or co-authored more than 130 publications.

1. Over the last 3 decades, our laboratory has led to the development of new theories on the regulation of respiration and blood gas homeostasis, based upon neural coupling between breathing, circulation and metabolism.
2. We have in parallel to this thematic developed NIH funded research programs related to various conditions leading or related to hypoxia such as the mechanisms of lethality following an opioid overdose and treatment, the effects of cytotoxic hypoxia during mitochondrial intoxication (cyanide or H2S) or the effects of tissular hypoxia produced during circulatory failure. We have, combined to mechanistic studies, a program on the development of countermeasures.
One of the specificities of our research is to use models which are as close as possible to clinically-relevant conditions, to understand the pathophysiology and treatment of life-threatening conditions related to hypoxia.
