Master in Chemistry
Chemistry for life sciences 2nd year
Presentation and goals
This program provides students with the skills and knowledge of research issues in the chemistry for life sciences field, in order to be able to successfully carry out research projects at this interface (by continuing in doctoral education).
In the 2nd year in Chemistry for life sciences, classes will focus on chemistry at the interface with biology and its applications, with, in particular, courses on bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. The teaching units in bioorganic chemistry focuses on the synthesis, engineering and modification of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids and sugars) in order to obtain bioactive molecules as research tools for biology. As for the UE in Bioinorganic chemistry, its aim is to understand the role of metals in living systems in order to best imitate the way in which they work and anticipate how they interact with biomolecules. A course of biology specific to the 2nd year's CLS program raises students’ awareness about the different innovative biological targets which have significant therapeutic and diagnostic interest. This cross-disciplinary specialisation will broaden the students scientific culture at the chemistry-biology interface and enable a better understanding of the biological mechanisms and pathways that can be targeted. In parallel, students must also take a course of either biology or chemistry, within those proposed among the other programs of the chemistry or biology degree, to personalize their own formation.
