Program
Prof Mark Daniel Head of School, Population Health, University of South Australia

Mark Daniel is Professor of Epidemiology, Director of the Spatial Epidemiology and Evaluation Research (SEERG), and Head: School of Population Health, University of South Australia. He is concurrently appointed Professorial Fellow, Department of Medicine, St. Vincent’s Hospital, The University of Melbourne. A former Canada Research Chair for Population Health, he is a Fellow of the Obesity Society and of the Royal Society for Public Health. His research seeks to identify the social and built environmental factors that shape the expression of risk factors and disease outcomes in human populations, determine the pathways of these effects, and inform policy and practice through rigorous evaluations of the effectiveness of multi-level, multi-sectoral interventions on environmental factors in metropolitan, rural and remote areas. This research, involving the longitudinal analyses of spatial variations in clinical outcomes and linked administrative data with geographic identifiers, sits at the intersection of spatial epidemiology and quantitative evaluation research. It has important implications for policy makers, urban planners, institutions, businesses, and health and medical professionals concerned with the identification of evidence-based strategies to reduce rising rates of cardiometabolic and lifestyle-related chronic diseases through changing environments to support changing lifestyles.
