Biography: 

Dr. David Stewart Sinclair is clinical professor in Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Neurosurgery in the Division of Neurosurgery of the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, McGill University. His clinical interests are centred in areas concerned with carotid artery disease and stroke, cerebral aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment strategies, cerebral circulation augmentation procedures and AVM treatment. His research fields are focused on advanced therapies for stroke and, most recently, understanding evolutionary clues to cerebral development. He is very involved in medical student and resident education and serves as Director for the Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Fellowship in McGill’s Faculty of Medicine.

Dr. Sinclair completed postgraduate training in areas as diverse as marine biology, medical epidemiology and flight medicine. After serving as medical officer in the Canadian Navy and working with the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Middle East, he practiced family medicine for two years in a small community of Nova Scotia.

Dr. Sinclair subsequently pursued neurosurgical training at the University of Alberta and obtained his Royal College Specialist Certificate in Neurosurgery in 1995. He then joined the neurosurgical group at Dalhousie University where he focused on pediatric and trauma neurosurgery. In 1997 Dr. Sinclair was afforded an opportunity for adventure as ship’s crew and part-time physician aboard the Barque Picton Castle on its maiden 19-month circumnavigation of the globe. Upon his return in 1999 he obtained his CSPQ (Neurochirurgie) and joined McGill’s Faculty of Medicine in the Division of Neurosurgery at The Neuro. In 2000 he completed his “Neuro” fellowship in cerebrovascular surgery.
