Yves Lapierre, MD
Associate Professor
Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic, Montreal Neurological HospitalÂ
Dr. Lapierre obtained his medical degree Cum Laude from Université de Montreal and completed his residency in neurology at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. After spending 2 years in neuroimmunology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, he returned to the Sacré-Coeur hospital and Institute Armand Frappier in 1975. Dr. Lapierre joined Dr. Bert Cosgrove at the MS clinic in 1979. In 1981, he became staff neurologist at the Montreal General Hospital and a permanent member of the McGill community. He was appointed Director of the MS Clinic in 1999.
Dr. Lapierre has been interested in research relating to Multiple Sclerosis since his early years in training. He has been involved in clinical trials in MS for more than 20 years, many of which led to new treatments in MS. He strongly believes that clinical research should be intimately linked to more basic research such as epidemiology and databasing, immunology, imaging, molecular biology, genetics and other emerging fields. He has collaborated with colleagues from those disciplines both at McGill or in Canada and continues to do so.
