John West is well known to the "Hypoxia" community for his many contributions to the physiology and Pathophysiology of high altitude and for his leadership of the 1981 American Medical Research Expedition to Everest. He is known to the wider medical world for his researches into respiratory physiology especially gas exchange in the lung and perhaps even more for his numerous books on these topics. His publication list numbers over 400 original papers. His research career started in the UK but since 1969 he has been Professor of Medicine at UCSD, leading a very productive team at La Jolla. He has been honoured by numerous prizes and named lectureships, the latest honour being to be elected to the Institute of Medicine, National Academies (USA).
约翰·韦斯特在“低氧”领域广为人知,他在高原生理学和病理生理学方面做出了诸多贡献,还领导了1981年美国珠穆朗玛峰医学研究探险队。在更广泛的医学领域,他因对呼吸生理学的研究而闻名,尤其是肺部气体交换方面的研究,或许更因其关于这些主题的众多著作而闻名。他发表的论文超过400篇。他的研究生涯始于英国,但自1969年以来,他一直是加州大学圣地亚哥分校的医学教授,在拉霍亚领导着一个成果丰硕的团队。他荣获了众多奖项和命名讲座,最新的荣誉是当选为美国国家科学院医学研究所院士。
