Biography
Jørgen Vestbo is a Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the North West Lung Centre, University of Manchester. His professional training consisted of specialist training in Internal Medicine and Respiratory Medicine in university hospitals in Copenhagen. He obtained a DrMedSci degree form the University of Copenhagen in 1992.
Professor Vestbo has taken part in developing international guidelines for the diagnosis and management of COPD as member of a working group establishing new standards of care (Guidelines) in COPD for The American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society, 2001-2004, and as member of the Executive and Scientific Committees for the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) since 2006, Chairman of the latter from 2009.
Professor Vestbo has served on the Editorial board of Respiratory Medicine and the European Respiratory Journal and is currently on the Editorial Board of American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and a member of the International Advisory Board for Thorax.
Professor Vestbo shares his time between Manchester and Copenhagen where he is Professor of Respiratory Medicine at University of Copenhagen and Consultant at Hvidovre University Hospital.
