His current research includes projects in high altitude medicine and physiology, and exercise performance. Current funding includes major support from the Department of Defense. He currently oversees a staff of postdoctoral fellows and research assistants working on projects to predict who is susceptible to altitude illness, and the molecular mechanisms of acclimatization to hypoxia. Dr. Roach is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, and serves on the editorial boards for Journal of Applied Physiology and High Altitude Medicine and Biology. He also co-directs the International Hypoxia Symposia, the premier meeting of scientists dedicated to understanding the effects of hypoxia on the human body.
