Daniel Green is a Winthrop Professor in the School of Human Sciences (Sport and Exercise Science) at The University of Western Australia. He obtained his BSc (Hons) in 1990 and PhD in 1996 from UWA. His career includes establishing Australia's first research-intensive Clinical Exercise Physiology service in the Cardiac Transplant Unit at Royal Perth Hospital in 1996, a Visiting Scientist position at Mayo Clinic in 1998/1999, appointment as Visiting Specialist in Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation at Royal Perth Hospital in 2002, Professor of Cardiovascular Physiology at Liverpool John Moores University in 2006, and his current role as Winthrop Professor at UWA since 2009. Green is also affiliated with the UWA Defence and Security Institute.
As a cardiovascular exercise physiologist specializing in the prevention of chronic disease, Green's research addresses the impacts of exercise, physical activity, and lifestyle factors on cardiovascular health across the lifespan. His work covers exercise training to prevent atherosclerosis in obese children and adolescents, optimal combinations of exercise and medications for managing coronary disease, stroke, hypercholesterolaemia, diabetes, and heart failure. He leads the Cardiovascular Research Group at UWA, fostering transdisciplinary partnerships and developing innovative technologies such as software for analyzing blood flow effects on arterial walls and optical computed tomography for microvascular function. Green has supervised over 90 thesis students at UWA and in the UK, with many receiving prestigious awards and advancing to senior academic positions. Notable honors include the NHMRC Principal Research Fellowship (2015-2021), Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences, Refshauge Lecture (2014), Australian Research Award (2023), School of Human Sciences Senior Research Award (2022), and Vice-Chancellor's Senior Research Award (2022). Key publications encompass works on shear stress-mediated endothelial adaptations to exercise training (2010), effects of exercise intensity on flow-mediated dilation (2013), and recent advancements in microvascular imaging using optical coherence tomography (2025-2026).
