M2 Systems and Synthetic Biology
The aim of M2 SSB is to provide students from the Life Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, Chemistry, Physical and Computer Sciences a mean to fruitfully engage in collaborative work across disciplinary boundaries, with applications in Systems & Synthetic Biology. Students undertaking the course will gain hands-on experience in experimental biology, modeling and designing. They will also enhance transversal capacities including planning a project, giving a seminar, perceiving the industrial, economical and ethical issues associated with these developing fields.
Apply engineering approaches to biology.
During the first semester, from September to end of January, students must attend 5 core compulsory modules and 5 elective modules (chosen among 12), for a total of 30 European Credits (ECTS). Refresher courses in either biology or mathematics and computer science are also proposed.
The second semester, from February to end of July, consists in a 6–months research training. Students may perform this internship in one of the academic laboratories or biotechnology companies located on site or elsewhere in France or abroad.
The professional perspectives of M2 SSB lie in the massive development of Synthesis Biology, and the orientation of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry towards the use of predictive models and the modeling of biological systems.
About 70% of students in previous classes pursue doctoral studies, while others hold research-engineering positions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries or in academic research laboratories. Moreover, several previous graduates are founders of biotech startups.
Applicants may come from Universities or from Engineering schools. After a first year of master (M1), or an equivalent qualification (4 years of successful higher education after finishing high-school), in either Biology, applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Chemistry or Physics. Bi-disciplinary curriculums including biology is favored, but highly-achieving and motivated students in any of the cited disciplines can apply.
The second semester consists of a compulsory 6-month internship in a research laboratory (public or private).
