About Roger
Roger Dampney is Professor Emeritus in Cardiovascular Neuroscience in the Discipline of Physiology, School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney. He graduated with a BSc from the University of Sydney and obtained his PhD there in 1973 for research on the control of the circulation by the brain. Subsequently, he undertook postdoctoral research at Cornell Medical College in New York and in Italy as an Overseas Research Fellow of the Life Insurance Medical Research Fund of Australia and New Zealand (1974-1976). Upon returning to the University of Sydney in 1976 as a Lecturer in Physiology, he progressed through the academic ranks: Senior Lecturer in 1980, Associate Professor in 1987, and Professor in 1992. He was awarded a DSc by the University of Sydney in 1996.
Professor Dampney's research career has focused on the central neural mechanisms controlling the cardiovascular system, establishing him as a leading investigator in this area. His seminal review, 'Functional organization of central pathways regulating the cardiovascular system,' was published in Physiological Reviews in 1994. Other significant works include 'Central neural control of the cardiovascular system: current perspectives' in Advances in Physiology Education (2016) and chapters such as 'Central Mechanisms Regulating Coordinated Cardiovascular and Respiratory Function.' He has authored over 170 publications, accumulating more than 12,000 citations. His studies have advanced knowledge of brainstem pathways, including the rostral ventrolateral medulla, in blood pressure and sympathetic regulation. Dampney has earned the University of Sydney Excellence in Teaching Award (1993), Jean Margaret Sykes Research Award from the National Heart Foundation (1993), Fellowship of the National Heart Foundation of Australia, Fellow of the American Physiological Society (2019, Neural Control & Autonomic Regulation Section), and Fellow of The Physiological Society.
