About Brigitte

Brigitte Borg is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow in Planetary Health at Monash University, where she also holds an adjunct lecturer position in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine. Holding a Bachelor of Applied Science, she is an accredited clinical physiologist specialising in respiratory science with 27 years of experience.

Borg has played a key role in the Hazelwood Health Study, acting as Respiratory Stream Coordinator during the first round of clinical assessments in 2017-18 and advancing to Respiratory Stream Lead in 2019. Her research interests include the impact of the Hazelwood coal mine fire on lung health in the Morwell community, the utility of the forced oscillation technique to identify early interstitial lung disease, the utility of the forced oscillation technique to identify early lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients, and using the SVC manoeuvre within the forced oscillation technique to estimate elastic recoil and airway closure in patients with end-stage lung disease.
