Brief bio

Dr. Ian Gibson is an associate professor of pathology at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba. His early research during medical school and anatomic pathology training focused on morphological studies of the human kidney, using scanning electron microscopy to examine the Bowman’s capsule for parietal podocytes and atubular glomeruli.

As a surgical pathologist with over 25 years of specialist expertise in medical renal pathology and renal allograft pathology, Dr. Gibson completed a renal pathology fellowship at the University of Alberta under Dr. Kim Solez in 1995-1996. He has been actively involved in the development of the Banff Classification for Renal Allograft Pathology since 1995 and participates in multiple pediatric and adult clinical trials in renal transplantation. He collaborates with Canadian research groups on the molecular analysis of diabetic nephropathy and studies non-neoplastic kidney damage in tumor nephrectomies, seeking prognostic indicators for post-operative renal function.
