McGill University Health Centre
Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Dr. Évelyne Vinet is an associate professor in the Division of Rheumatology at McGill and Co-Director of the McGill Lupus Research Clinic. She leads the McGill Reproductive Rheumatology Clinic. Dr. Vinet is also a medical scientist for the Centre for Health Outcomes Research at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, a member of the McGill Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, as well as member of the McGill Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical and Translational Research.
The primary goal of Dr. Vinet’s research program is to use epidemiologic methods to improve reproductive health outcomes in women with rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and their offspring. To this end, Dr. Vinet has created the world's largest cohort of offspring born to SLE women, which has driven her novel findings demonstrating that SLE offspring are at increased risk of autism spectrum disorders, congenital heart defects, and stillbirths. Dr. Vinet is also actively spear-heading research initiatives to elucidate how therapies used to treat rheumatic diseases (e.g. TNF inhibitors and other biologics) impact health outcomes in these patients and their offspring. Finally, Dr. Vinet is leading an international multi-centre prospective cohort study, the “Lupus in prEGnACY (LEGACY).” cohort, to ultimately establish early risk stratification and personalized therapy of lupus pregnancies.
