Dr. Jeffrey Joseph is a Professor in the Departments of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Calgary.
Dr. Joseph graduated summa cum laude in Mathematics from the University of New Hampshire in 1977. After college, while in Peace Corps, he taught mathematics and science to high school students in the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. He subsequently attended Harvard Medical School, where he studied Medicine and completed graduate studies in Parasitology, receiving his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in 1991. From 1991 to 1995 he completed residencies in Pathology and Neuropathology at several Boston-area institutions, including the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, and the V.A. Medical Center in West Roxbury. This training included research experience at the Molecular Neurooncology Laboratory of the Massachusetts General Hospital in 1994. Dr. Joseph began clinical practice in neuropathology at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA, and was the principal neuropathologist there for 11 years. He was also an Instructor in, and then Assistant Director of, the preclinical neuroscience course at Harvard Medical School. In 2002, he was appointed to the position of Academy Scholar at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Joseph moved to the University of Calgary in the fall of 2007, where he is the Head of Neuropathology in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
Dr. Joseph's research interests span many areas of neuropathology, including childhood and adult neurodegenerative disorders, multiple sclerosis, and the pathological analysis of brain tumors. He has a long-standing interest in improving clinical education in neuropathology and is the author of several texts. He is currently working on a book about neuroradiology and neuropathology and also teaches extensively in the clinical and preclinical training programs at the University of Calgary.
