Biography
Annemarie Lee is an experienced cardiorespiratory physiotherapist and researcher who completed her PhD at The University of Melbourne in 2009. She previously taught in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program and led the cardiorespiratory teaching program in the Doctor of Physiotherapy at The University of Melbourne, while working clinically at Alfred Health. She undertook an international Postdoctoral fellowship (supported by the Canadian Respiratory Research Network) at West Park Healthcare Centre and University of Toronto, Canada.
Her research program has focused on physiotherapy for bronchiectasis and examining the prevalence and clinical impact of comorbidities in chronic respiratory conditions, including pain and gastro-oesophageal reflux. New research interests are optimising clinical outcomes through non-pharmacological treatment in people with chronic respiratory disease, specifically examining the effects of adjuncts to pulmonary rehabilitation. Annemarie co-developed the Bronchiectasis Toolbox and Strong Lungs websites, resources for health professionals for the management of people with bronchiectasis, including First Nations Australians
