M2 Gene Cell Development
This curriculum aims at training the Master students with the most recent advances in several scientific domains, in order to prepare them to understand the forefront science at play in their internship laboratories and further during their Ph. D. thesis.
The curriculum includes cell biology, genetics, epigenetics, stem cell biology, cancer biology and developmental biology. In addition practical training in Bioimaging and several practical courses are proposed. Moreover, the students will prepare a bibliographical research and produce a written proposal for their internship. At the end of the internship, the students will present a written report and an oral defense.
Altogether, this training is a coherent suite of courses, seminars, practical training and training in presentation skills suitable for any prospective Ph. D. student as well as students aiming at an engineer career in research. Importantly, the GCD curriculum tries to taylor the program to the purpose of each student: when pertinent, a course provided by another curriculum can be selected after discussion with the GCD course supervisors.
The main career options are to pursue a doctoral thesis and to be recruited as a research engineer in research and development (public and private). It also leads to positions as clinical research associates, consultants, project managers and scientific communication/monitoring officers.
â–ª Pre-requisites
The Gene Cell Development Master course is an intensive curriculum, comprising advanced courses, seminars and training by research. It is adapted to students with a Master first year degree, with a very strong background in cell biology, genetics, epigenetics.
The students should also possess an open curiosity to approach new fields such as stem cell biology, cancer biology and developmental biology. Prerequisites in those latter three fields are those of a general bachelor degree. However, during the Master 2 curriculum, students will see how these integrative areas of science use all the background in cell biology, biochemistry and genetics.
A B2 level understanding of English is recommended, although the goal of this training is also to allow improvement of the French students to master the English language.
