On March 16, Associate Professor Kinjal Sethuraman, MD, MPH, was quoted in The New York Times' article on hyperbaric oxygen treatment and potential longevity impacts.

Dr. Sethuraman, who also serves as Medical Director for the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Center for Hyperbaric and Dive Medicine, emphasized that research on hyperbaric treatment is still developing. She also encouraged readers to seek treatment only at facilities accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society—such as UMMC’s hyperbaric chamber.
