He completed his training in basic science and in pediatric gastroenterology in Paris, France. He received further training in enteric neuroscience in Michael D. Gershon's laboratory at Columbia University, New York. He worked as a pediatric gastroenterologist at Robert Debré Hospital in Paris, France before moving to Montreal, Canada in 2001. He is currently in activity in the division of pediatric gastroenterology at CHU Ste-Justine with clinical, academic and research activities.
