Dr. Schwartz has investigated mechanisms of sleep disordered breathing with a special emphasis on novel approaches to the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnea.

He is an author of over 175 articles and inventor on 3 patents. He is an established investigator with record of continuous NIH funding for over 30 years.
