Master Biologie Intégrative et Physiologie

The Master Biologie Intégrative et Physiologie (Master's in Integrative Biology and Physiology) is a 120-credit program that aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of biological processes and their applications in various fields.

Objectives

The program's objectives are to:

• Form high-level biologists with an extended knowledge base and skills in molecular biology, genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, and stem cell biology.
• Foster an understanding of the interface between disciplines and sensitize students to biomedical applications.
• Allow students to specialize in one of the main axes of the Master's program through laboratory internships.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for entry into the M1 program are:

• Obtaining a degree in biology with knowledge in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and physiology.
• Having followed teachings that have allowed students to understand the mechanistic foundations of biological processes.

Sites of Instruction

The program is taught at the SCIENCES, Marseille Luminy site.

Formation and Research

The program includes laboratory internships that must be carried out in one of the institutes associated with the Master's program. These internships allow students to be immersed in a research environment and carry out their own project.

Registration Regimes

This course is accessible in initial training (FI).

Skills to Acquire

The skills to acquire in this program include:

• Knowing how to conduct a study of a biological process through a multidisciplinary, quantitative, and integrated approach.
• Knowing how to mobilize knowledge in several disciplinary fields to understand the molecular processes that govern the living world and how their deregulation leads to the appearance of pathologies.
• Implementing an innovative and multidisciplinary experimental approach with the most recent techniques to dissect the molecular mechanisms that control the development and physiology of eukaryotes.
• Possessing linguistic knowledge and writing methods to conceive, produce, and present the results of a research project or bibliographic study in English or French.
• Conceiving, formalizing, and carrying out a research project to provide answers to a previously identified question.

Stages and Supervised Projects

The Master's program includes two internships: a 7-week internship in S2 and a 6-month internship in S4. These internships take place in one of the research laboratories associated with the Master's program.
