Dr. Pierre Marquet holds a diploma of physical engineering from EPFL and a M.D./Ph.D. in neurophotonics from UNIL. Recognised worldwide for his pioneering work on digital holographic microscopy, he is a professor at Université Laval and laureate of the CERC in Neurophotonics. He is also the director of the International Joint Unit (IJU) in neurodevelopment and child psychiatry. The goal of this IJU is to define infantile at-risk syndrome of major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression disorder by the identification of high-risk biomarkers and endophenotypes with the help of neurophotonics tools. He is the author or co-author of more than 170 scientific publications (11898 citations, h-index 46), of many patents and is the co-founder of three technological start-up companies.
