Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The teaching unit includes carrying out a research project based on laboratory experiments. Using model systems (microorganisms, plant cells, and animal cells), the student will discover a set of molecular and bioinformatics analysis techniques that make it possible to clone a gene from a biological sample and characterize the corresponding protein. The project will involve molecular analysis techniques (nucleic acid, protein, and/or bioinformatics technologies).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Address all the molecular approaches currently developed by a bioengineer in the study and cellular characterization of prokaryotes and eukaryotes with a view to their exploitation and valorization. These approaches include genetic and genomic, biochemical, bioinformatic, and proteomic aspects, with an immunological component. At the end of this multidisciplinary module, students should be able to understand, master, implement, and design the workflow of molecular approaches in complex biological problems related to agricultural sciences and biological engineering. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to optimize existing processes in applied chemistry and biology in order to meet specific contexts.
