Clinical academia

Respiratory research connected with clinical practice

Dr Sarwar's academic work has developed alongside specialist respiratory practice in Australia. His publications include research and clinical reports involving respiratory disease, advanced bronchoscopy, peripheral pulmonary lesions, inhaled corticosteroid therapy, complex respiratory infection and lung transplantation.

Much of this work reflects questions arising directly from clinical medicine: improving diagnostic approaches, understanding treatment effects, identifying uncommon disease and studying factors associated with longer-term outcomes.

Alongside his work at Australian Polyclinic in Lahore, Dr Sarwar continues to work part-time as a Staff Specialist in Respiratory Medicine at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, Australia, and maintains an academic affiliation with the University of Newcastle.
