David Henley

David Henley serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the UWA Medical School, The University of Western Australia, with research focusing on endocrine physiology and stress response systems. His work significantly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

His primary research domains include hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation, cortisol dynamics across geographical and seasonal variations, and clinical investigations into adrenal disorders and sleep-related breathing conditions. Key specialties encompass stress physiology, sex-specific stress responses, obstructive sleep apnea, and adrenocortical carcinoma management, with strong emphasis on translational clinical applications.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent investigation into cortisol's role as a biomarker for stress responses, geographical influences on endocrine function, and clinical management of pituitary-adrenal disorders. His 2018-2022 work demonstrates methodological diversity spanning epidemiological studies, retrospective clinical analyses, and neuroendocrine investigations, with notable focus on longitudinal stress exposure effects and geographical determinants of hormone regulation.
