Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies
Soft matter and biophysics 1st year
Presentation and goals
The course offers disciplinary training focused on development and characterization at the nanometric scale with a strong multidisciplinary dimension (physics, soft matter, biology). It relies on research groups working in this field, in particular in relation to the Fondation Nanosciences de Grenoble. This first year training will ensure preparation for the M2 Soft -Nano or NanoBiosciences. It can also prepare students for the M2 NanoMedecine. It equips students with skills in the development, manipulation, characterization, understanding and exploitation of nano-systems, nano-materials, nano-structures and unique molecules, as well as knowledge of their application potentials. It makes students aware of the environmental and societal challenges of nanotechnologies. In addition, the mastery of modeling tools will be developed and reinforced for interested physicist students.
This track is opened to international students. All courses are given in english.
The curriculum contains:
- General courses corresponding to 12 ECTS, among which 3 include the study of a foreign language
- Core courses in nanosciences and nanotechnologies specific to soft matter and nanobioscience (27 ECTS) with a large focus on experimental teaching and projects on the cleanrooms and nanosciences facilities of the Grenoble area
- Elective courses (totalizing 15 ECTS) for further specialization in nanosciences or for breadth.
- Internships in research teams, 8 weeks
For more informations on this track
The main objective of this track is to provide students with strong scientific and technical knowledge in micro- and nano-fabrication, manipulation, measurement and instrumentation at the nano-scale. This include among other, the functionnalization of surfaces, the manipulation of single cells, the use of optical techniques for observation and manipulation of single bio-molecules, etc... The program provides students with strong basis in biology, allowing them to pursue ambitious projects at the interface between biology and nano-technologies
