Mona Nemer, CM CQ FRSC, is a Canadian science professor of Lebanese origin. She is the current Vice-President Research at the University of Ottawa, and was formerly at the University of Montreal and the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal where she held a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Cardiovascular Cell Differentiation.

Her research focuses on the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that register the genetic expression of cardiac cells. She is best known for isolating the gene related to ventricular hypertrophy which manifests itself in an increase of the volume of the heart and a thickening myocardial wall. Her work has contributed to the development of diagnostic tests for heart failure and the genetics of cardiac birth defects.
