Professor Peter Gibson
Professor Gibson works as a doctor who cares for people with respiratory diseases and as a clinical scientist investigating the mechanisms and treatment of asthma, COPD, cough, and other airway disorders.
Professor Gibson is recognised as Australia’s top pulmonary researcher (The Australian, Research Report 2019) and has been awarded several research honours, including the 2018 ERS Gold Medal in Asthma, and being elected by his peers to the role of president of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (2015-6).
His research, clinical practice, and participation in guideline panels serve to bring research developments into focus as effective health care interventions that improve the health of people suffering from breathing disorders. Professor Gibson will lead the research we will do with NEW1000 Study families around asthma and respiratory disease in pregnancy.
