The Immunology and Physio-Physiopathologies (I2P) course offers a curriculum through and in research, focusing on the study of the body's main regulatory systems. You will explore how physiological mechanisms ensure the balance of living organisms, and how disruption of these mechanisms can lead to inflammation, autoimmunity, metabolic disorders or cancer, by taking a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the complexity of living organisms.
The 1st year Master's Immunology and Physio-Physiopathologies is organised into four blocks of knowledge and competencies: Methods and Fundamentals for the Study of Living Organisms (12.5 ECTS) A springboard to an integral understanding of the life sciences! Strengthen key disciplines (scientific English, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, cell signalling and genomics) while developing the essential methodological competencies for analysing biological systems. Immunology and Physio-Physiopathologies Major (25 ECTS)** Give your 1st year Master's a specific focus by choosing from among the many TUs offered in the core of your course. Minor (10 ECTS) Broaden your scientific culture to develop a cross-disciplinary approach. Immersion in Research (12.5 ECTS) Dive right into the heart of research: Draft a bibliographic dissertation and complete an 8-week laboratory internship. For the more inquisitive, combine the core TUs of two Majors to develop a double course.

Objectives
Le parcours Immunologie et Physio-Physiopathologies (I2P) du Master Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire offre une formation par et pour la recherche, centrée sur l’étude des systèmes de régulation du vivant et de leurs dérégulations.
Vous y consoliderez vos bases disciplinaires, vous apprendrez à analyser la littérature scientifique, à mener des projets et à travailler sur des problématiques concrètes, tout en ayant la liberté de personnaliser votre parcours selon vos envies et vos ambitions.
En particulier, vous apprendrez à manipuler les outils conceptuels et méthodologiques nécessaires pour comprendre les mécanismes fondamentaux de l’immunité et des grandes fonctions physiologiques (endocrinologie, reproduction, métabolisme, cardio-respiratoire) ainsi que pour analyser leur dérégulation dans les principales pathologies humaines.
Le parcours I2P permet d’acquérir :
- une compréhension approfondie de l’immunologie: développement, différenciation et régulation des cellules immunitaires, réponses innées et adaptatives, tolérance et auto-immunité, immunopathologies et approches thérapeutiques ;
- des connaissances solides en physiologie intégrative, incluant l’endocrinologie, la régulation hormonale du métabolisme, la reproduction, ainsi que les fonctions cardio-respiratoires et leurs dérégulations ;
- une vision mécanistique de la physiopathologie, en abordant les processus inflammatoires, auto-immuns, métaboliques, tumoraux, infectieux, ainsi que les dimensions liées à la nutrition, au vieillissement et à la longévité ;
- une approche transversale reliant immunité et physiologie pour comprendre la complexité des maladies multifactorielles.
Vous bénéficierez d’une liberté unique pour construire votre parcours au travers d’un large choix d’UE. Vous serez également sensibilisés aux méthodes expérimentales modernes (cytométrie, imagerie, analyses omiques, modèles expérimentaux). La flexibilité de ce parcours vous permet de composer une formation sur mesure et de commencer à développer une expertise ciblée dans les domaines qui vous passionnent et dans lesquels vous envisagez une poursuite en M2.

Target Audience and Entry Requirements
Hold a National undergraduate degree in Life Sciences or Life and Earth Sciences, obtained before September 1st of the academic year for which you are applying. Have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of biology: Molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics. Must have validated TUs in the 2nd/3rd year undergraduate degree in line with the themes of the relevant course. For international French-speaking students: Have a diploma equivalent to an undergraduate degree in Life Sciences, guaranteeing the same prerequisites, obtained before 1st September of the academic year for which you are applying. If your full-time academic programme is highly specialised, we recommend that you first apply for a 3rd year undergraduate degree in Life Sciences (National diploma). Required level of French: C1 (certification). For English-speaking international students: You may apply to the International track in France if you graduated with a Bachelor degree, major in Biology, or if you will graduate before Sept 1st of the academic year for which you apply.
Application Period(s)
From 15/01/2026 to 16/03/2026
From February 17th to March 16th, 2026
