About
Dr. Winship is a Professor and a former Alberta Innovates Health Solutions Scholar (2010-2017) in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta. Dr. Winship is currently serving in the Office of the Vice President (Research and Innovation) as an Associate Vice President for Research Development and Services. In this role, he is supporting development and optimization of processes to support researchers at the University of Alberta. As Director of the Neurochemical Research Unit (NRU), he works with a diverse group of scientists that are investigating the fundamental neurobiology of the CNS and performing clinical translational research to develop new therapies for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Research
Research in the Winship lab combines advanced imaging and behavioural neuroscience to better understand how the integrated CNS functions and identify key pathophysiological or adaptive processes in brain disease. These insights are used to develop new therapies for disorders including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia. Key areas of current research include the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and autism (CIHR, in collaboration with John Howland, USask, and Allen Chan), the mechanisms of futile recanalization during stroke (CIHR, HSFC funding, with collaborator Glen Jickling), and plasticity after stroke as a target for therapy (CIHR, in collaboration with Karim Fouad).
