Shane Maloney

Shane Maloney is a Professor at The University of Western Australia (UWA), affiliated with the School of Human Sciences and the Centre for Human Lactation Research and Translation. His research focuses on thermal physiology, cardiovascular systems, and the impact of environmental stressors on mammals and birds. Key projects include studying heat stress in humans under climate change, circadian rhythm health impacts, and physiological adaptations in large African bovids.

Education: BSc and PhD from the University of New South Wales (NSW). Teaching responsibilities include units like SCIE5515 (Global Challenges in Biomedical Science) and APHB5504 (Advanced Techniques in Physiology). Collaborations span institutions in South Africa, Germany, the USA, and Saudi Arabia, addressing topics from avian fever mechanisms to live export animal welfare.

Research highlights include work on giraffe hemodynamics, kangaroo thermoregulation, and developing heat stress indices. His interdisciplinary approach integrates physiology with climate science, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals on climate action and health.
