About David Bishop
Professor David Bishop is a world leader in muscle exercise physiology with more 250 publications and an h-index of 73. His research has been funded by multiple grants from the ARC, the NHMRC, and the Australian Defence Force, and has received more than 100 invitations to speak at international conferences around the world.
Professor Bishop leads the Skeletal Muscle and Training research group, which has two key research areas: exercise as mitochondrial medicine, and human performance.
The focus of his research group is to examine how diet, exercise, and genes interact to regulate skeletal muscle adaptations, and to translate this new knowledge into recommendations for more individualised exercise prescriptions to better improve health and human performance. His team consists of 4 post-doctoral fellows and 6 PhD students.
Professor Bishop has held many important exercise and sport science leadership positions in Australia. He was the youngest-ever president of Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA). During his presidency, he was lead author on a submission to the Productivity Commission that led to the inclusion of Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) in Medicare-Plus. He was also invited to the Senate Inquiry into the practice of Sports Science and was a consultant to the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports. He has twice been on the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) panel assessing the quality of research in Australia and is currently a director of the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS).
Professor Bishop has received numerous awards and recognition during this career, where he:
- was named as one of the “Top 25 Influencers of Exercise & Sport Science in Australia”
- received the ESSA president’s award for “Service to exercise & sport science in Australia”
- was awarded the “Young Investigator Award (Biophysical Sciences)” and the “Best Paper” prize at Sports Medicine Australia and Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) conferences
- was made a fellow of Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the European College of Sports Science (ECSS).
His students have received conference presentation awards at the Exercise and Sport Science Australia and European College of Sports Science (ECSS) meeting.
He is currently assistant editor of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (MSSE).
His research program has a significant reach beyond academia, as evidenced by regular requests to translate the importance of his team’s exercise science research findings to the public (> 250 media outputs - print, radio, television). His team’s research concerning mitochondrial adaptations to exercise training has twice been featured on the ABC’s Catalyst program.
