His research is deeply embedded in global health policy, with a focus on ethical decision-making during public health emergencies and in the design of clinical research involving human participants.

His research interests center on public health ethics, particularly in the context of infectious disease outbreaks. Key areas include the ethics of human challenge studies—especially for diseases like COVID-19—vaccination ethics, antimicrobial resistance, and health equity in global health research. He investigates how ethical principles can guide policy on infection control, resource allocation in intensive care, and research involving asymptomatic carriers of infection.

The trends in his recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on pandemic preparedness and ethical governance. His work frequently addresses how scientific evidence, expert disagreement, and ethical frameworks interact in crisis settings. He contributes to high-impact journals in bioethics and infectious diseases, often collaborating with international bodies such as the World Health Organization.

Zeb Jamrozik has served as a Chief Investigator or Primary Chief Investigator on multiple research projects funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and Safer Care Victoria. These projects explore ethical frameworks for ICU triage during the pandemic, equity in climate-sensitive infectious disease research, and guidelines for human challenge studies. His work has influenced clinical guidelines and been widely disseminated through news outlets, social media, and academic platforms.

He is actively involved in research leadership, contributing to national and global conversations on bioethics. His projects often involve interdisciplinary teams and aim to produce actionable ethical guidance for policymakers and health institutions.
