Biographical details

Roger Dampney is an Emeritus Professor in Cardiovascular Neuroscience in the Discipline of Physiology and Bosch Institute, an Honorary Professor at the University of NSW, and an Adjunct Professor in the Australian School of Advanced Medicine, Macquarie University. He is a leading investigator in the study of the functional organization of central cardiovascular pathways, with a particular interest in the mechanisms by which the brain produces highly coordinated cardiorespiratory changes that are appropriate for different behaviours, such as exercise and defensive behaviour. He has published over 140 articles that have received over 10,000 citations with an h-index of 53. He has served on the editorial board of several journals and has supervised many students and post-doctoral fellows.

Roger Dampney received his PhD degree from the University of Sydney in 1973, and conducted post-doctoral research at Cornell Medical College in New York and at the University of Milan, Italy. He received an Excellence in Teaching award in 1993 and a DSc degree in 1996 from the University of Sydney.
