About the Author

Professor Bruce Thompson is Head of the Physiology Service within the Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Alfred Hospital and Monash University. He is the head of one of the largest pulmonary function laboratories in Australia and combines a very active research program with his current role as co-chair of the Global Lung Initiative for the measurement of gas transfer factor. His contribution to respiratory research and laboratory measurement was recognised in 2011 when he was awarded the ANZSRS research medal (Fellowship).

Ms Brigitte Borg is a Certified Respiratory Function Scientist. Brigitte is the Deputy Head of the Physiology Service, Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine at The Alfred, Melbourne. She is responsible for the day-to-day management of a busy lung function laboratory that encompasses clinical, research and education in its core activities. Brigitte has actively participated in the training of advance trainees in lung function interpretation over many years and has been on the faculty of the American Thoracic Society's Post Graduate Course for The Interpretation of Lung Function since 2008. Brigitte's research interests are twofold: quality of measurement of lung function and oxygen therapy.
