Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Nanomedicine and structural biology 2nd year

Presentation and goals

This master is entirely taught in english. This track is devoted to the new technologies in medical imaging involving nano- or molecular markers, as well as the therapeutic use of nano-particules. Taught courses include general biology courses mainly directed at students joining the program in the second year. It also includes a number of courses dealing with the various methods of medical imaging from magnetic resonance to X-rays, image processing issues, nano- and molecular markers, and courses in structural biology.

This track aims to prepare students for the challenges and innovations that are emerging at the border medicine nanoscience, including exploiting nanotechnology and nanomaterials for medical imaging and therapeutics. It also aims to train students to research in structural biology, a strong pole in Grenoble environment with the presence of large instruments and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory EMBL.

The main aim of this program is to train managers with solid scientific and technical skills in the field of engineering and characterisation of micro- and nanostructures, as well as surfaces.

Further information

A specific feature of this programme is that it includes numerous practical assignments carried out directly in industry using top-end equipment, either at the Leti Laboratory (CEA) or the Alliance Crolles II (STMicroelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, Freescale Semiconductors). One third of lecturers for the Master come from industry (STMicroelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, Freescale Semiconductors), one third from CEA and CEA-Leti, and one third from the university and CNRS. This close involvement of industry in the Master makes it especially competitive on the employment market.
