Colin Josephson

Dr. Colin Josephson is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Calgary, affiliated with the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, O'Brien Institute for Public Health, and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute. As a clinician-scientist, he bridges neurological practice with rigorous academic research in epilepsy care.

His educational trajectory includes:

• Medical school and neurology residency at Dalhousie University
• Specialized fellowship in intracranial vascular malformations at University of Edinburgh
• Epilepsy and EEG fellowship at University of Calgary
• Currently completing MSc in Epidemiology

Research centers on epilepsy clinical decision frameworks, leveraging evidence-based medicine and predictive modeling to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic pathways. His epidemiology expertise drives methodological rigor in developing data-driven tools for seizure management, with implications for neurology practice standards worldwide.

Prestigious recognitions include:

• 2010 European Stroke Conference Young Investigator of the Year Award
• 2014 Susan S. Spencer Clinical Research Training Fellowship (jointly awarded by American Brain Foundation, AAN, AES, and Epilepsy Foundation)
• 2014 Alberta Innovates Health Solutions Clinician Fellowship
• 2013 Canadian Institutes Health Research Fellowship

Research is sustained through competitive grants including the Susan S. Spencer Fellowship and CIHR funding, enabling translational work from computational models to clinical implementation. His dual clinician-scientist role ensures direct patient impact while advancing methodological standards in neurological research through epidemiological innovation.
