Yuben Moodley is the head of the Stem Cell Unit at the Lung Institute of Western Australia, a Consultant Respiratory Physician at Royal Perth Hospital and Associate Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Western Australia.

His research interests are finding biomarkers in exhaled air in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung conditions such as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease as well as investigating mechanisms of repair and fibrosis and finding novel cellular therapies for these lung diseases. His achievements include investigating the role of exhaled nitric oxide in interstitial lung diseases, delineating novel signal transduction pathways in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. More recently the focus on the role of placentally-derived cells for lung therapy has yielded interesting results.
