Denny Levett was one of the  Research Leaders for the Caudwell Xtreme Everest expedition in 2007 and also the Expedition Medical Officer.  She led the exercise research planning, performing and analysing over 2000 exercise tests at altitude. Denny was also on the climbing team on Everest in 2007 and Cho Oyu in 2006. Her PhD thesis investigates the changes in exercise capacity and efficiency that occur in hypoxia.

In 2013, Denny will be leading the exercise research and will be a member of the field team in Kathmandu along with her three children under the age of four!  She will be the medical officer in Kathmandu.

Denny chairs the National Perioperative Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) Course and has been part of the clinical exercise testing team at UCH hospital since 2005.  She is currently analysing the tests for an ongoing multi-centre randomized controlled trial investigating the utility of CPET for peri-operative risk stratification.

Denny was one of the early members of the Centre for Altitude Space and Extreme Environment Medicine (CASE) and in addition to her interest in hypoxia leads the diving physiology theme at CASE.  She is a lecturer and examiner on the CASE BSc physiology course.
