Moitessier received his undergraduate training and his Ph.D (1998) from Université Henri Poincaré-Nancy I (France) under the guidance of Dr. Yves Chapleur (carbohydrate chemistry) working in close collaboration with a theoretical chemistry group (Dr. Maigret). His PhD was followed by post-doctoral studies with Prof. Shephen Hanessian (1998-2000, medicinal chemistry, asymmetric synthesis).

In 2001, he moved back to Nancy to start an academic career (Chargé de Recherche, CNRS) then back to Montréal in 2003 (Assistant Professor, McGill University). In 2009, he was promoted to Associate Professor and in 2019 he was promoted to Full Professor. His research interests spans a variety of drug discovery related fields including computer aided drug design and software development, catalysis and green chemistry, and biophysics and biochemistry.
