OP
Dominic D'Agostino developed an atomic force microscope in a hyperbaric chamber for the Defense Department. The objective was understandably a little vague but it sounds like studying the mechanism(s) of oxygen toxicity. In the process, he discovered that superoxide anion became many times higher in cancer cells under pressure than healthy cells — which killed off their mitochondria.
There are a number pieces of information of note to divers interested in advanced diving physiology, but it is wide ranging on HBOT technology.
