Evelyne Vinet MD, PhD

Dr. Évelyne Vinet, a rheumatologist and an Assistant Professor in the Division of Rheumatology at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine, has been selected as the 2018 recipient of the Canadian Rheumatology Association’s (CRA) Young Investigator Award. Dr. Vinet, who obtained her PhD from the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at McGill, focuses her research on reproductive issues in women with rheumatic diseases.

Dr. Vinet, who has been a researcher at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre since 2014, has made substantial contributions to the field of reproductive issues in rheumatic diseases during the early stages of her career. Over the past few years, she has put together the world’s largest cohort of children born to women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to evaluate long-term outcomes of children born to mothers with SLE. More recently, she expanded her work to study important drug exposures during pregnancy in rheumatic diseases.
