Presentation

Further information

The program provides students with strong basis in biology, allowing them  to pursue ambitious projects at the interface between biology and nano-technologies.

International dimension :

Grenoble is a world-renowned competitiveness cluster in the field of nanotechnologies. Students are exposed to the international dimension of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, through international partnerships with universities and collaborations with numerous laboratories. Internships abroad are possible and actively encouraged. This program is part of the Erasmus+ Mundus master (EMM) consortium in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies. The EMM Nano students join the nanobiosciences program in the second year.

Further studies

This track offers two main perspectives :

• Continue with a PhD, in France or abroad : The interdisciplinar character of this track leads to a wide variety of domains, ranging from nanotechnologies in biophysics, to subjects more oriented toward biology or health engineering
• Become an engineer in a company or an organism, in the domain of nanotechnologies, biosciences, health engineering, regenerative medecine and/or biotechnologies
