Master's degree in Health Biology
This training in research and through research in the field of Biology and Health is based on competent and internationally recognized research teams. The degree aims to train students who are considering a career in higher education or research.
The Master's in Biology and Health comprises 12 courses, four of which are taught entirely or in part within the Faculty of Pharmacy:
- Translational medicinal chemistry
- Therapeutic Engineering and Bioproduction in Health Biotechnology (IBIS)
- Sensory and motor neuroprostheses
- Dynamic and Emergence of Infectious Diseases (DYNAMEID): this program will not be offered for the 2023/2024 academic year.
Translational Medicinal Chemistry Program
This program is at the intersection of chemistry and biology and is intended for students in the biological sciences, health sciences, or ENSCM. Based on structural, molecular, and cellular biology, this program provides theoretical and methodological training in the field of medicine, covering rational design and innovation on the one hand, and nanotechnologies for vectorization and targeting on the other. Courses in pharmacokinetics, toxicological investigation, and therapeutic pharmacology then enable students to understand what happens to a molecule within the body.
The Master II affiliated internship programs encourage students to pursue doctoral studies at French or international universities in the field of chemistry-biology interfaces. This Translational Medicinal Chemistry program helps train professionals for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agri-food, and biotechnology industries.
