Dr. Del Bigio is originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. After completing his MD and PhD training at UM, he began training in neurosurgery. However, his true calling was found to be neuropathology. Following residency training at the University of Toronto and post-doctoral studies at the Université de Paris, he joined the faculty at UM and the staff at Health Sciences Centre - Winnipeg in 1994. He is now a professor of pathology in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. His clinical and research activities in neuropathology are devoted to understanding the pathogenesis of human neurological disorders. He strives to ensure that experimental and animal models are relevant to the human disease state. He has continuously had external funding awards to ensure protected research time (~60%) and operating awards from a range of Canadian and American granting agencies (MRC, CIHR, Heart & Stroke, NIH). He served as chair of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) – Specialty Committee in Neuropathology from 2008-14. He then served as president of the Canadian Association of Neuropathologists from 2015-18. He began serving as a core council member for the International Society of Neuropathology (ISN) in 2018 and is currently senior associate editor for the ISN’s journal Brain Pathology.
