He is a professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine at Université de Montréal; a principal investigator and the chief executive officer at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer; and an associate vice-president in Research, Scientific Discovery, Creation, and Innovation at Université de Montréal.
in biochemistry (1979) and a Ph.D. in neurological sciences (1985) from Université de Montréal, and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship (1985-1989) at Duke University under the supervision of Robert Lefkowitz (2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry[4]).
Bouvier is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of Université de Montréal and a principal investigator at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer at Université de Montréal.
Bouvier's work in the regulation of receptors led to new paradigms (inverse agonism; pharmacological chaperones; receptor polymerization; and pluridimensionality of signaling), which, coupled with the development of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer-based methods, have a direct impact on drug discovery.
Bouvier holds the Canada Research Chair in Signal Transduction and Molecular Pharmacology.
