Marc obtained his master’s in physics and medical physics at McGill University in 1991. He is an American Board of Radiology certified medical physicist who has been involved in proton therapy for 30 years at Massachusetts General Hospital. His hands-on participation with this modality involves technical to clinical aspects directly relevant to patient care. He has been a primary contributor to workflow and quality control improvements, working with internal staff and vendors to integrate technology into a modern clinic using passive scattering and PBS delivery with prototype IBA cyclotron and Protom synchrotron systems which have presented unique features and challenges. Marc is also the Director of Stereotactic Physics for photons and protons. He has been the primary project manager responsible to develop and implement a successfully dedicated stereotactic proton beamline at MGH. His stereotaxi tenure has spanned Linac treatments from the era of invasive fixation to a high-volume modern Elekta and Varian imaged-based SRS/SBRT platforms. He is a Research Associate at Harvard Medical School, contributing to studies and R&D related to patient care with interests primarily focused on CNS, ocular and pediatric care, photon, and proton stereotaxi, patient immobilization, proton therapy, teaching, quality assurance and control. Marc is a Radiation Oncology Practice Accreditation surveyor for the American College of Radiology, reviewing and assessing small, medium, and large clinics treating with a myriad of modalities and systems to ensure high quality standards. Marc has also provided technical advice for independent research entities and for legal assessments related to patient care.
