Jason J. Mcdougall PhD

Dr. Jason McDougall completed undergraduate and doctoral degrees in physiology at the University of Glasgow in Scotland before coming to Canada in 1996 as a postdoctoral fellow in the University of Calgary's McCaig Centre for Joint Injury and Arthritis Research. Upon completing this fellowship, Dr. McDougall went back to Europe, completing further postdoc training in Germany and then Spain. He then returned to Canada to join the faculty at the University of Calgary in 2001. A stint at Dalhousie as visiting professor in 2009 piqued his interest in the university's collaborative pain and neuroscience research communities, prompting him to make the move east in 2011 to join Dalhousie Medical School's departments of Pharmacology and Anesthesia, Pain Management and Perioperative Medicine. Dr. McDougall has an impressive record of peer-reviewed funding and publications, is involved in numerous committees, societies, and boards, and is frequently invited to speak at national and international meetings on topics related to arthritis pain, inflammation and new approaches to treatment.
