Dr. Winston moved to Calgary where he began his practice as a clinician scientist in Critical Care and Pulmonary Medicine in June 1995.

Research:

The research focus in Dr. Winston’s laboratory primarily involves using metabolomics to study human diseases in Critical Care. His studies focus on metabolomics in sepsis, lung injury (ARDS) and head injury (traumatic brain injury, TBI). In order to do this research he has created a tissue bank for intensive care unit (ICU) related disease processes.

He describes his research as primarily focused on translational research on clinically relevant Critical Care and Pulmonary disease processes.
