Professor Serge Belloncik obtained a doctorate degree in natural sciences and agriculture from the university of Montpellier in 1969. After post-doctorate training at the faculty of medicine of Montreal University, he joined as from 1972-1978 the department of chemistry-biology, University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres (Canada). He was in charge of microbiology courses and organized an electron microscopy unit. His researches were in the field of insect pathology and mosquito borne viruses.

Since 1978 Professor Belloncik was Professor at the institute Armand-Frappier, virology research center. He was head of department from 1985-89. He was during this period and thereafter in charge of graduate Master and doctorate programs as well as electron microscopy and cellular biotechnology units.

His researches are in the insect pathology, tissue cultures, pathogen-host-cell interactions and biotechnology fields. He developped research and teaching programs in relation with biological control of insects in Canada and in collaboration with different universities in the world and specially in Asia such as Japan and Thailand.
Presently, he is honorary Professor at INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier. His e-mail address is cpv5@hotmail.com Places and impressions of Prof.Serge in his blog.
