Gavin P. Winston
Gavin P. Winston (born in the UK in 1978) is a British neurologist and neuroscientist whose research is in the field of neuroimaging in people with epilepsy.[1][2] Since 2019, he is Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at Queen's University and a faculty member of the Centre for Neuroscience Studies and holds a cross-appointment in the School of Computing.[3] He is a neurologist at Kingston Health Sciences Centre,[4] and is one of three adult neurologists in their District Epilepsy Centre.[5][6] He has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles (h-index 31) and serves on the editorial board of Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery.[7]
Education
Winston received his Bachelor of Arts in Pharmacology from Gonville and Caius College at the University of Cambridge in 2000 and went on to complete his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at Keble College, University of Oxford in 2003. He completed his PhD in Neuroimaging of Epilepsy at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology in 2014 working at the Epilepsy Society site in Chalfont St Peter.
Career
After house officer jobs, he undertook senior house officer training at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, before working as Clinical Fellow at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. He went on to complete his clinical training in neurology both here and at the Royal Free Hospital before attaining a position as MRC Clinician Scientist and Honorary Consultant Neurology at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and Chalfont Centre for Epilepsy in 2015.[8]
His main work has been in the advancement of magnetic resonance brain scanning techniques for people with refractory focal epilepsy undergoing epilepsy surgery. This includes the development of techniques to automatically segment the hippocampus and measure its properties,[9][10] work to improve the safety of epilepsy surgery by real time visualisation of critical structures.[11] an understanding of cognitive dysfunction particularly working memory[12] and work to improve the detection of hard to visualise abnormalities.[13][14][15]
He relocated to Queen's University in Kingston, Canada in 2019 and continues work in understanding the cognitive deficits in people with epilepsy and applying machine learning techniques to both neuroimaging and electrophysiological data.
Award and honours
Winston received the Sir Peter Mansfield Prize for innovative technical developments in magnetic resonance in medicine and biology from the British Chapter of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine for his work on intraoperative guidance to avoid visual field deficits. He has been elected an Associate Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy for his research and teaching and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London. He was awarded a Young Investigator Award from the American Epilepsy Society in 2018.[16]
