Email EmilieBiography
Dr. Emilie Groulx-Boivin completed her undergraduate degree in Physiology and her medical training at McGill University. She is currently a third-year pediatric neurology resident at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and is concurrently pursuing a Master of Science in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill. Her research focuses on structural and functional brain imaging in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Under the mentorship of Dr. Maryam Oskoui, an international leader in pediatric neuromuscular disorders, Dr. Groulx-Boivin is dedicated to improving the quality of life of children with SMA and other neuromuscular conditions through early diagnosis, advanced neuroimaging, and innovative assistive technologies.
She is a 2025 Collaborative Research Training Award recipient and shares her neuromuscular experience through her Early Career blog.
