Guy Marks

Professor Guy Marks is a Conjoint Professor in the School of Clinical Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine & Health at the University of New South Wales. A distinguished respiratory physician, epidemiologist, and public health physician, he has led the Respiratory and Environmental Epidemiology group at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research since 1997. His work bridges clinical practice, epidemiological research, and public health policy with a focus on improving lung health globally.

Professor Marks' educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Medical Science and Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (BMedSc MB BS) from the University of New South Wales
• PhD from the University of Sydney
• Membership in the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP)
• Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP)
• Fellowship of the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine (FAFPHM)
• Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences (FAHMS)

Professor Marks' research program centers on lung health with specific emphasis on airways diseases, air pollution, and tuberculosis. His work spans epidemiological studies, clinical trials, and public health interventions aimed at improving respiratory health outcomes. He has a strong commitment to capacity building for lung health research, particularly in resource-limited settings. His research has significantly contributed to understanding the impact of environmental factors on respiratory diseases and developing effective strategies for tuberculosis control.

Analysis of Professor Marks' recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a continued strong focus on tuberculosis epidemiology and control, air pollution health effects, and respiratory disease management. His work increasingly incorporates advanced methodologies including machine learning applications for tuberculosis detection, detailed air pollution modeling, and economic evaluations of public health interventions. Much of his research maintains a strong international perspective with significant collaborations across the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Vietnam.

Professor Marks is an active member of several professional societies:

• International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease
• Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand
• Australasian Epidemiological Association

While specific details about his advising activities and grant funding are not provided in the available information, Professor Marks' extensive publication record and leadership of the Respiratory and Environmental Epidemiology group at the Woolcock Institute suggest substantial experience mentoring students and securing research funding. His work on tuberculosis prevention trials and air pollution health effects likely involves significant grant support.

Professor Marks leads the Respiratory and Environmental Epidemiology group at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, which has been active since 1997. This research team focuses on population-level studies of respiratory diseases with particular expertise in tuberculosis epidemiology, air pollution health effects, and asthma/COPD management. The group maintains strong international collaborations, especially with researchers in Vietnam and other Asia-Pacific countries, reflecting Professor Marks' commitment to global lung health research and capacity building.
