Biography
Ronald L. Gibson, MD, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He earned his MD and PhD at Washington University Schools of Medicine and Arts & Sciences in St. Louis. He completed pediatrics residency training and a fellowship in pediatric pulmonology at the University of Washington (UW). Dr. Gibson has been on the faculty at the UW School of Medicine since 1988.
Dr. Gibson's primary research focus is on the pathogenesis of lung disease in CF, with a focus on the risk factors for and the treatment of chronic airway infections (primarily Pseudomonas aeruginosa) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). As a co–principal investigator of the Seattle CF Translational Therapeutic Development Center, he has been a lead- or co-investigator for several phase I to phase III clinical trials (e.g. airway infection, CFTR modulators). He has also been a lead or site PI on investigator-initiated studies involving early lung disease, and airway infection. Dr. Gibson is also director of the clinical core of the UW CF Research Development Program with the goal of catalyzing collaborations between basic, translational, and clinical investigators, primarily on studies related to lung disease.
