Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc-olivier Duceppe is a Senior Resident Bioinformatician in Montreal with 10 years of experience applying genomics and molecular biology to plant breeding, pathogen detection, and microbial genomics. He has led genome-wide association studies, genotyping-by-sequencing and marker development for crop improvement projects—most notably work on alfalfa recurrent selection for enhanced bioethanol traits—and has hands-on experience in genome assembly, annotation and RNA-seq analyses. At the Canadian Food Inspection Agency he expanded and modernized a bioinformatics unit within an ISO-accredited environment to improve project flow and efficiency under resource constraints. His background spans both agricultural and diagnostic contexts, from nematode population genetics and qPCR-based detection to bacterial genome analysis, giving him a rare mix of applied research and operational bioinformatics. Trained as a plant scientist (PhD, Université Laval), he bridges molecular lab work and computational pipelines to deliver actionable markers and surveillance tools.
