Biography
Anne Holland is Professor of Physiotherapy and Head of Respiratory Research at Monash University and Alfred Health in Melbourne. She is an NHMRC Leadership Fellow (L1 2021-2025, L2 2026-2030). Anne’s research program investigates supportive therapies for people with chronic respiratory disease, with a focus on COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. Her recent clinical trials have tested new models of pulmonary rehabilitation to improve access and uptake, including low cost home-based models and telerehabilitation. She is currently leading a multi-national trial of ambulatory oxygen for people with fibrotic lung disease. Anne is a Chief Investigator for the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis and the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Treatable Traits.
Anne has published over 450 peer reviewed journal articles and her publications have been cited over 36000 times. Her research underpins recommendations in more than 30 clinical guidelines from 18 countries for chronic lung disease, pulmonary rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Her contributions to respiratory research have been recognised in the award of the Society Medal, Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (2021), and the European Respiratory Society Gold Medal for Allied Health Professionals (2022).
