She is board-certified in both Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology and is a practicing pediatric neuropathologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Her neuroscience research experience began over twenty years ago, resulting in over 90 publications and numerous grants, and spans a wide range of topics from electrophysiology to neuro-oncology in both humans and animal models.
Her primary areas of interest are pediatric neurologic diseases including perinatal hypoxic/ischemic brain injury and neurogenetic disorders. She has authored book chapters, including the “Acquired disorders of childhood” chapter in Greeenfield’s Neuropathology.
Dr. Viaene is the Chair of the Program Committee for the American Association of Neuropathologists and a member of the Perinatal Committee for the Society of Pediatric Pathology.
