She is a Tier 2 Clinical Research Chair in Diagnosis and Discovery Pipeline for Patients with Genetic Neuromuscular Disease at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Warman received her MD/Neurology residency at the University of Ottawa and MSc from Queen’s University. She completed research and clinical fellowships in neuromuscular disorders from McGill University and neurogenetics at the University of Ottawa and is certified by the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists (EMG). She led the strategic development and is now Director of the Ottawa Hospital Neuromuscular Centre, a diagnostic clinical research centre for patients with NMD. She is also co-director of the uOttawa Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, which unites over 60 clinical and basic NMD researchers. Dr. Warman-Chardon's research program and clinical practice focuses on the diagnosis and the clinical characterization of patients with rare or novel inherited neuromuscular disease by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and next generation sequencing by genome and RNA sequencing.
