Career Summary

Biography

Associate Professor Phil Hansbro has an extensive track record as a program leader in the study of respiratory infections and their interactions with obstructive airway diseases (OADs), such as asthma and chronic obstructive airway disease (COPD). He has developed a nationally competitive respiratory research group at the University of Newcastle and made important and novel observations of how different infections differentially affect the development and exacerbation of asthma. His group has shown for the first time that the age of first infection and the timing of infection relative to allergic sensitisation play pivotal roles in determining the affects of infection on asthma. The nature of infection is important and Chlamydia, Haemophilus and viral infections promote or modify asthma, whereas other bacterial infections are protective. These studies have identified the potential for the development of novel prevention and treatment strategies for respiratory disease, which are the subject of ongoing studies. He is also an expert in the study of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in wild birds and to date his group has collected over 240,000 samples and identified ~250 AIVs.

He is the leader of the Microbiology, Asthma & Airways Research Group at the University of Newcastle. His group has been recognized by the award of numerous nationally competitive grants. Importantly in the last 4yrs he has been awarded 3 large NHMRC project grants as CIA and grants from NHMRC (x2) and ARC as alternate CI.

He Since 2004 he has published many internationally peer reviewed journal articles, with an average impact factor of 5+. These include publications in the leading respiratory (Am J Respir Crit Care Med [IF=9.84]), allergy (J Allergy Clin Immunol [IF=9.8] and immunology journals (J Immunol [IF=6.4]). His vaccine work is now being published (Vaccine [IF=3.4]) and frequently writes invited reviews in prestigious journals (2x Pharmacol Ther [IF=8.0], Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol [IF=4.5], Immunology [IF=3.4]), which are described by reviewers as making substantial contributions to the fields. He is a regular reviewer for national granting bodies and leading international journals.
