Présentation
Structural Biochemistry: A Center of Excellence in Grenoble
The Biochemistry and Structure master’s program provides cutting-edge knowledge in biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology, leveraging an exceptional learning environment close to renowned Grenoble-based institutes such as IBS, CEA, IAB, and CERMAV, as well as world-class facilities like the ESRF, ILL, and international institutions such as EMBL.
Students will have the opportunity to explore the molecular level through our state-of-the-art 3D teaching facility, where they will learn advanced techniques in biochemistry and structural biology from experts in various fields, including X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and single-molecule techniques. They will also gain insight into the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) applied to biochemistry and structural biology.
Throughout the program, students will develop an integrated understanding of biological processes at the molecular level through real-world examples drawn from research in biochemistry and structural biology. This in-depth knowledge is essential for exploring applied fields such as drug design, protein engineering, and systems biology.
The importance of studying biomolecules at the atomic level—to enhance their properties, inhibit their function, or exploit them to our advantage—has been recognized by more than eight Nobel Prizes over the past decade.
By the end of this master’s program, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the experimental approaches used in the biochemical and structural characterization of biological macromolecules.
This training will prepare them to embark on a doctoral project in the field of integrated structural biology, equipped with the skills and expertise necessary for cutting-edge research.

Poursuite d'études
Graduating from a master degree in Integrated structural biology leads to a career as a research engineer in academic or private laboratories. For the students interested in a career as a research scientist in academic institutions or in private pharmaceutical industries: consecutively to a master degree in Integrated structural biology, the students may choose to continue with a PhD program depending from a French doctoral school or foreign universities and related to the aforementioned fields of biology. Consecutively to their PhD, the young researchers undertake one or two post-doctoral trainings of 2-3 years each, usually in foreign countries, in order to diversify their expertise. They can then apply to permanent positions as :
- Full time researchers at the national French organizations of research (“CNRS”, “INSERM”, “INRA”, “IRD” etc)
- Project managers in R&D laboratories from private biotech companies
- Part time researchers, part time teachers in French or foreign universities
