Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master 1 "Plant and Microbial molecular Biology (PMB)" is part of a dynamic training a new generation of high-level scientists specialised in the most recent concepts of molecular biology through research at an international level.

Objectives

The objective is to acquire a qualitative and quantitative vision of biological processes such as the dynamic interactions between components of a living system, and also between living systems in interaction with the environment dedicated to plants and microbial models.

Skills

By combining fundamental courses, active pedagogical approaches and training through research within our network of laboratories of excellence, students will learn how to combine modelling and experimental approaches in challenging domain of plant sciences and microbiology.

Program Details

• The programme includes several research training courses through internships and tutored projects:
  • Unit "Adopt a data set": During this course, students will be given a data set to analyse in depth.
  • Unit "Teach System Biology": This course adopts a reverse pedagogy approach in which the students themselves construct the course.
  • 3 weeks of lab rotations in different laboratories of our network.
  • 8 weeks of internship during which students will be involved in a research project in a laboratory in Paris-Saclay or abroad.
• Students will also be strongly encouraged to participate in the International IGEM (International Genetically Ingeneering Machine) competition in which the University of Paris-Saclay participates.
