Marc obtained his BSc in biological sciences from the University of Namur in Belgium, in 1985.  He conducted research towards a Ph.D. in Biochemistry in the laboratory of Graham Warren at the University of Dundee, Scotland (1986-1988) and at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, England (1989-1992).  His first postdoc took him to the Biozentrum of Basel University, Switzerland, where he stayed 3 years, then he went back to Belgium for another 4 years at the International Institute of Molecular and Cellular Pathology in Brussels.  Marc joined the faculty at the Yale University School of Medicine in June 1999, where he directs the Electron Microscopy Facility in the newly-created Center for Cell and Molecular Imaging. His main research interest is the biogenesis of the Golgi Aparatus and the maintenance of its polarity throughout the cell cycle.
