Elena Netchiporouk

Elena Netchiporouk, MD, M.Sc., FRCPC is a Scientist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) on the Montreal General Hospital site. She holds an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at McGill University, with a clinical affiliation in the Division of Dermatology at MUHC. Her research focuses on environmental triggers of autoimmune skin diseases, particularly chronic spontaneous urticaria and systemic sclerosis.

Research Interests: Dr. Netchiporouk investigates gene-environment interactions in cutaneous autoimmunity, emphasizing pollutants and microorganisms as initiators of skin and systemic autoimmune responses. Her work bridges epidemiology, immunology, and clinical dermatology to understand disease mechanisms and improve management strategies.

Publication Trends: Her recent studies address biologics in dermatology (2020-2025), environmental risk factors for scleroderma (2016-2025), and pediatric urticaria management (2016-2025). Key subfields include

• Autoimmune Skin Pathogenesis
• Biologic Therapy Safety
• Cutaneous-Mucosal Immune Interactions
• Epidemiology of Rare Dermatoses

Collaborative Networks: She collaborates with the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group, contributes to clinical trial design (e.g., Montreal Derm FilEZ educational platform validation), and participates in international multicenter studies on urticaria and fibrotic skin disorders.
