Master in Biology
Molecular and cellular biology 1st year
Presentation and goals
The Master of Molecular & Cellular Biology welcomes students with a bachelor of Science from France or any other place of the world who want to obtain a very high level of training in Cellular and Molecular Biology. All courses include lectures and tutorials linked to related research developed in Grenoble. In addition to a solid knowledge in many areas of biology, you will develop skills in project management, analysis of experimental data and oral & written presentation. You will also naturally progress in English, an indispensable language for any kind of professional career. The Master 1 program includes a 2-months internship which will give you a strong experience in the professional world.
The Master 1 MCB opens to the following M2 training program to start a scientific career in academic labs or R&D in private companies.
- Microbiology, infectious diseases and immunology program
- Structural biology of pathogens program
- Neurosciences, neurobiology program
- Physiology, epigenetics, differentiation and cancer program
- Pro2Bio program (taught partly in French and partly in English)
It opens also to sales-oriented M2 program
- Biologieet techniques de commercialisation program (taught in French)
- Science trading program (International program)

Organization
The Master in Molecular & Cellular Biology starts with a common core in which students will acquire solid knowledge in gene expression regulation (Molecular Genetics and epigenetics of the cell; 6 ECTS) and biochemistry (Chemistry & Biochemistry; 6ECTS). The first year of Master MCB is highly remarkable for its extensive hands-on-experience where students are given the chance to perform a lot of experiments (Driving Experimentation in Biology; 18 ECTS). Students build their own scientific project starting from the design of the project, followed by 3 weeks of experimentation in a dedicated lab at UGA.
An introduction to the world of business, its issues and its functioning will be offered to you (3 ECTS)
