He obtained a B.Sc. in Computer Science and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics option, from McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Mathieu Blanchette and Dr. Benoit Coulombe. He then performed his postdoctoral research in Dr. John R. Yates III’s laboratory in the Department of Chemical Physiology at The Scripps Research Institute. His research focuses on the development of statistical and machine learning algorithms for the analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data and protein-protein interaction networks. Dr. Lavallée-Adam is also a recipient of the John Charles Polanyi Prize in Chemistry, awarded by the Government of Ontario, and of the Canadian Vanier scholarship recognizing his research and involvement in the community.
