Marie-Josée Raboisson is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal, based at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal. She serves as Director of the Transplant and Heart Failure Program and Cardiac Ultrasound Laboratory at CHU Sainte-Justine, with extensive involvement in pediatric cardiology clinical care and research since 2007.

Her educational background includes:

• Master's degree in Biology, Louis Pasteur University of Strasbourg (1987-1989)
• Training in Pediatric Cardiology, Louis Pradel Cardiology and Pulmonology Hospital, Lyon (1995-2001)
• Clinical supervision in Fetal Cardiology and Cardiac Catheterization, CHU Sainte-Justine, University of Montreal (2001-2002)

Dr. Raboisson's research focuses on pediatric and fetal cardiology with emphasis on cardiac ultrasound techniques, maternal-fetal circulation, and congenital heart defects like transposition of the great vessels. Her work integrates clinical innovation in diagnostic imaging and therapeutic interventions for complex pediatric cardiac conditions.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant trends in echocardiography applications for congenital heart disease, interventional cardiology using devices like the Amplatzer occluder, prenatal diagnosis of cardiac anomalies, and pharmacological management of pulmonary hypertension in infants. Key subfields span fetal cardiology, cardiac imaging, and congenital defect management.

As principal investigator, she leads two research projects and collaborates with Children's Hospital Colorado and CHU Sainte-Justine's Neonatology Department. She has moderated five conference sessions and delivered 16 invited presentations since 2007, with seven poster publications.

Her institutional leadership includes directing CHU Sainte-Justine's Cardiac Ultrasound Laboratory and Transplant Program, plus committee roles for Multidisciplinary Pediatric Cardiology Meetings and the Association of Cardiologists of Quebec.
