Montse Oliv\u00e9 has a degree in Medicine and Surgery from the Central University of Barcelona. She completed her residency in Clinical Neurophysiology at the Bellvitge University Hospital. She is a Doctor of Medicine from the Central University of Barcelona. From the beginning of her training, she was interested in the study of muscular diseases. After completing her residency, she obtained a scholarship from the P\u00ed i Sunyer Foundation to carry out her doctoral thesis at the Neuropathology Unit of the Hospital de Bellvitge where she trained in muscular pathology. After a long career at the Bellvitge University Hospital combining his activity in the clinic and in the Pathology Service, in 2020 he joined the Neuromuscular Diseases Unit of the Neurology Service of the Hospital Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP) in Barcelona , of which she is currently the director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the care point of view, she performs the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with muscle diseases, neurophysiological studies, as well as the diagnosis of muscle biopsies in collaboration with other members of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montse Oliv\u00e9 has extensive experience in the clinical and electrophysiological evaluation of patients affected by myopathies, and is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in the field of muscular pathology and electron microscopy of skeletal muscle in humans and in experimental models of myopathies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her research work has focused on the clinical and morphological characterization of genetically determined muscle diseases, especially diseases with protein aggregates, and on the search for genes responsible for new entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010 she worked for 6 months as a visiting researcher at the Neuromuscular Morphology Unit at the Institute de Myologie, in Paris. She has published more than 125 articles in indexed journals, and has contributed significantly to the definition of clinical and pathological phenotypes in various muscle diseases and the description of new myopathies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is a member of the research committee at the European Neuromuscular Center (ENMC), and co-chair of the Protein Aggregate Myopathies consortium at ENMC. She is chair of the working group on muscle pathology in the European network of neuromuscular diseases (ERN-NMD), member of the Executive Committee at the ERN-NMD and co-author of the document \u201cRecommended standards for muscle pathology\u201d.
She is the author of two chapters of the book “Muscle Diseases, Pathology and Genetics” of the International Society of Neuropathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She regularly participates as a teacher at the Myology Summer School, at the Institute de Myologie, in Paris, as well as at the Latin American School of Myology (EVELAM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
