Biography
Phillip Berger is Associate Professor in The Ritchie Centre of Hudson Institute of Medical Research.
Research Interest
Associate Professor Berger’s work is directed at the respiratory system with a particular focus on control of breathing. The intention of all his research is to develop a rigorous mathematical understanding of how the system operates, and to use this knowledge to create new therapies and devices that effectively treat the respiratory disorders that bedevil humans right across the age spectrum, from the preterm newborn with recurrent apnea and profound arterial oxygen desaturation, to the adult with heart failure and repetitive central sleep apneas lasting half a minute or more.
