Mitch Winnik has been a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto since 1970, where he is Professor of Chemistry. While he began his career as an Organic Chemist, he moved to Polymer Chemistry in 1980, where he and his students made important contributions to both theoretical and applied aspects of polymer science. In the applied area, his research group provided new fundamental scientific knowledge to the coatings industry that helped the industry develop the environmentally friendly paints that are now sold commercially. In parallel, he collaborated with Ian Manners to pioneer the study of crystallization-driven self-assembly of block copolymer micelles in solution. In 2005, he joined a team of scientists who were developing mass cytometry for rapid multiparameter cell-by-cell analysis of biomarker expression. He and his students created polymer reagents for this technique. More recently, he has become involved in a collaboration to develop metal-chelating polymers into targeted reagents for radioimmunotherapy treatment of breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.

He is an ISI “Most cited author” in chemistry, with 670+ publications and 20,000 citations. His contributions have been recognized by an Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award (Germany), the 2013 national award in Applied Polymer Science of the American Chemical Society, the 2004 CIC Medal (the highest award of the Chemical Institute of Canada for scholarly contributions), and the 2011 LeSueur Memorial Award, Society of the Chemical Industry, Canada. In 1998, he was named University Professor, the University of Toronto’s highest recognition for scholarly achievement.
