Présentation
Objectifs pédagogiques de la formation

This training will provide you with a strong foundation in modern genomics and its applications in research and healthcare. You will develop: 

  1. Expertise in structural and functional genomics techniques, with a focus on single-cell analysis and the study of spatial and temporal cellular heterogeneity in complex biological samples—essential for choosing the right approach to specific scientific questions. 
  2. Hands-on skills in implementing multi-omics strategies from an experimental point of view, enabling you to work confidently in a laboratory setting. 
  3. A clear understanding of how genomic data impacts patient diagnosis, care, and treatment, including the use of large-scale screening tools (such as CRISPR/shRNA or compound libraries) for therapeutic discovery. 
  4. The ability to collaborate effectively with bioinformaticians, guiding data processing workflows and independently performing downstream functional analysis to extract and apply relevant findings to your research projects. 
  5. Awareness of the ethical and legal challenges surrounding precision genomics and the responsible use of genomic data. 
  6. An introduction to entrepreneurship in human genomics, helping you explore the intersection between science, innovation, and business development. 
  7. Insight into the broader research ecosystem, both nationally and internationally, through seminars and courses offered in collaboration with public and private partners—including those from the EUGLOH European University Alliance.

Throughout the program, students will benefit from a cutting-edge research environment in genomics and post-genomics. This Master’s program is developed in synergy with Genopole and the GenoTher biocluster, and in collaboration with the Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster.

Compétences
  • Students will learn to formulate hypotheses, design and carry out experimental projects, and generate validated scientific data. They will also develop the ability to monitor scientific advances and independently synthesize the state of the art on a given research topic. 

    Students will be trained to use new technological tools, communicate scientific data and concepts to both experts and non-specialists, justify methodological choices and interpretations, and critically analyze scientific information from articles or conferences in English. 

    Students will develop autonomy, teamwork, and time management skills to meet deadlines. They will also learn to collaborate with external partners—scientific or non-scientific, national or international—across various professional contexts.

  • Organisation générale

    The training program is structured into four blocks. The Core block (12 ECTS) provides principal methods in functional genomics, overview in biotherapies and highly specialized methods to characterize heterogeneity of samples and basics in mathematics and computational sciences in biology. The Research block (12 ECTS) includes an interdisciplinary project with a M2 in Bioinformatics, focusing on digital tools for data processing and interpretation in biology. It also features practical training in NGS data analysis and a seminar unit on diverse research topics. The Optional block (6 ECTS) offers a choice between units on innovation and bioethics or other biology specialties. The Internship block (30 ECTS) is dedicated to a research placement in industry or academia.

    Pré-requis, profil d’entrée permettant d'intégrer la formation

    Recruitment is open to students who hold a Master 1 degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Paris-Saclay University, particularly those who have completed the following courses: Biologie des Génomes, Biothérapies and Cellules Souches et Biologie des Cancers, or those enrolled in the Master 1 International Track in France – parcours Évry-Paris-Saclay, or the Master 1 International Track Sino-French Program

     
    Recruitment is also open to students holding a French degree equivalent to the first year of a Master's in Biology, with certified English language proficiency. 

     
    Additionally, students with a Bachelor's degree in Science in relevant fields such as molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, genomics, or bioengineering are eligible to apply.

    Méthodes mobilisées
    The program adopts a blended learning approach, combining lectures with face-to-face tutorials, intensive practical courses conducted in pairs with bioinformatician master students, and research seminars offering a broad overview of current topics. Students also benefit from access to the extensive online learning resources of the European EUGLOH Alliance ([https://www.eugloh.eu/courses-trainings/](https://www.eugloh.eu/courses-trainings/)).  .   Elective courses will offer broaden perspectives beyond science. An overview of the steps and procedures for entrepreneurship, with a focus on biotechnologies, will be developed through interactive sessions with entrepreneurs, incubators, and funders, as well as group work on a biotech start-up project. This will be carried out in synergy with Genopole and in collaboration with the Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster (PSCC).  An introduction to the legal framework of artificial intelligence applied to health data, the regulation of digital health tools, and legal issues related to e-health will be provided, along with group work involving Master's students in Health Law.  As part of the curriculum, during the second semester the students will benefit from a 5–6 month immersion in a research lab or private company.
