Biography
Dr. Wintle completed a PhD in the Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics at the University of Toronto, studying the organization of antibody heavy chain genes. His postdoctoral work at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (Toronto) involved the study of neurotransmitter signaling in the nervous system of the nematode C. elegans. He then worked with two startup biotechnology companies, in the areas of laboratory operations and scientific project management, including managing a multi-million dollar research initiative on the genetics of inflammatory and other complex diseases.

Currently, he is the Assistant Director of The Centre for Applied Genomics at SickKids hospital in Toronto. TCAG is core facility employing over 70 people, and providing services in cutting-edge genomic laboratory experimentation, project consultation and bioinformatic and computational support to over 1,300 laboratories in Ontario, the rest of Canada, and worldwide.
