Bendik S. Winsvold
- Group leader, Senior researcher; PhD
Background
Bendik S Winsvold has a medical degree from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (2006), and started specializing in neurology at Oslo University Hospital in 2008. His PhD (2014) was on the genetic basis of migraine, and the relationship between migraine and cardiovascular disease. He has worked as visiting scientist at the department of Human Genetics, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridge, UK) for two years (2011-2012), and at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (Boston, USA) for six months (2014-2015). His main research focus has since been on the genetics of neurological and psychiatric disorders. He organizes the neuropsychiatric arm of a large genetic study (HUNT-MI/All-In) of 70,000 participants in the HUNT Study (https://www.ntnu.edu/huntgenes/research). Former secretary, and active member, of the International Headache Genetics Consortium. Alongside his research activity, he takes a special interest in the follow-up of patients with headache at the department of Neurology.
