Vincent Monnier obtained his medical degree and diploma in Chemistry from the University of Basel, Switzerland. From 1977-82, he did postdoctoral research on the advanced Maillard reaction in vivo with Anthony Cerami, Ph.D. at Rockefeller University (New York, NY). In 1982, he joined the Institute of Pathology where he did his residency in Clinical Pathology (1982-85).
