N...

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents :

To describe a current scientific problem, concerning agronomic sciences and biological engineering, to which the students will have to answer by writing a research project of 4 pages in English.
The project will have to implement molecular techniques (technology of the nucleic acids, proteins and/or computer sciences in biology).
Each student will choose, according to his natural affinities, a research theme among those proposed by the teachers.
Over one week, the student will join a research team to take part in research in laboratory concerning the selected research themes. Direct interactions with the researchers will make possible to write the project.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit :

To approach all the molecular techniques currently developed by a bioingenior in the cellular characterization of the procaryotes and the eucaryotes for their exploitation and valorization. These approaches introduce genetics and genomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and proteomics, and also immunology.
It is an option module following the Module of Master degree I CHIB, Applied genoproteomics.
At the end of this multidisciplinary module, the students must be able to understand and to implement solutions in complex biological problems using molecular approaches in the field of agronomic sciences and biological engineering.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

CHIM0715-1 Applied genoproteomics
BIOL2015 Molecular biology

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

To carry out research into the recent literature and consultation of Web sites for protocols. The students will be also in direct contact with scientists implicated in the research theme.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Regular meetings with the concerned teachers will be organized in order to discuss about the progress of the research project.
