Dr. H. Thomas Robertson is a graduate of Colgate University '64 and Harvard Medical School '68.

After a two-year pulmonary fellowship at the University of Washington, he joined the Pulmonary Division as a faculty member. Throughout his academic career, he divided his time roughly equally between teaching, care of hospitalized patients, and physiology research in pulmonary gas exchange.
