Doupe, Joseph (1910-)

Pioneer researcher on psychic healing. Doupe was born March 10, 1910, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He attended the University of Manitoba (M.D., 1934) and the Royal College of Physicians, London, (M.R.C.P., 1938). During World War II he served as a major in the R.A.M.C. (1940-46). Then in 1946 he became a professor of physiology with interests in parapsychology and head of the Department of Physiology at the University of Mannitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. He is most remembered for his supervision in 1960 of experiments concerned with unorthodox methods of treating wound-healing in mice, which would later form a basis for similar experiments by Bernard Grad.
