Daniel Heath is a Senior Lecturer in the University of Melbourne's Department of Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on developing next generation biomaterials. He has specific interest in blood-material interactions, as poor interactions between blood and biomaterials leads to the failure of many medical devices including vascular grafts and stents. His lab hopes to address these challenges by developing new biomaterials with improved blood-material interactions.

Heath completed Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology. He holds a PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from The Ohio State University. Later, he performed postdoctoral research in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University, in Biosystems and Micromechanics at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Center, and in Bioengineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
