Biography
Dr Daniel (Dan) Donner is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Monash University and University of Melbourne, and a Senior Research Officer at the Baker Institute (Discovery & Preclinical Domain). He also manages the Baker Institute’s Preclinical Cardiology Research Microsurgery and Imaging Platform, leading a team of senior research and technical staff and supervising Honours and PhD students. His research leadership is well supported by the Baker Institute and his postgraduate qualifications in research management (Sthrn Cross U) and leadership (Harvard U).
As of March 2022, Dan has co-authored a total of 27 career papers (including in Circulation, Cardiovascular Research and Endocrinology). In 2018, he commenced a new research program addressing insufficiencies in preclinical cardiology research, leading to well-cited guidelines for echocardiography standardisation in mice (Donner et al, 2018, AJP-Hear & Circ). More recently, Dan’s independent program of industry-linked preclinical trials will soon see large bodies of extensive basic and translational work assembled for publication under his leadership.
Dan is an associate and special topics editor of Front Integrat Physiol, co-treasurer of the International Society for Heart Research (ISHR) ECI Committee, and member of the European Cardiology Society, and Endocrine Society. He was awarded the ISHR Early Career Investigator Prize (2019) and has received the Annual Baker Institute Values Awards for Responsible Use of Funds (2019); Research Integrity (2020); and Scientific Excellence (2021).
Since 2019, he has attracted >$900K in total research funding from the NHF (CI), Implicit Bioscience (PI/CIA), Servier (AI), UniMelb (AI), and various external awards/travel grants.
