Research

Dr Ben Brockway studied in the UK and was appointed Consultant and Senior Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine at Dunedin Public Hospital and School of Medicine in 2008. His interests include exhaled breath analysis in disease and health, particularly in the fields of cystic fibrosis, asthma, and COPD. He is PI for numerous studies and his clinical interests include cystic fibrosis (CF), Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), and sleep disordered breathing. Clinical trials (commercial or academic) also include bronchiectasis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, insomnia, sleep disordered breathing, pleural disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD.
