Professor Zosky studied a Bachelor of Science at the University of Western Australia and has completed post graduate studies of Biostatics (Masters) at the University of Sydney and Zoology (PhD) at the University of Western Australia. The primary focus of his work has been the study of respiratory physiology, a passion he discovered during time at the Telethon Kids Institute in Western Australia where he was a faculty member for 10 years. He is currently leading a team conducting research into the early life origins of chronic lung disease. However, more recently his focus has shifted towards the optimisation of ventilation strategies in critical care and the relationship between lung structure and function.
Professor Zosky is a member of several international medical societies, including the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand, American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society and the Asia Pacific Society of Respirology. Professor Zosky is committed to the advancement of medical research. Not only a researcher himself, he also holds a teaching position with the University of Tasmania, fostering the next generation of medical researchers and practitioners.
The Foundation is proud to have Professor Zosky as a member of our board and we look forward to continued progress with the assistance of his expertise.
