Systems Biology option

The Systems Biology option was created in 2006. It offers students top-quality training perfectly aligned with current technological realities and multidisciplinary approaches.

The Master’s degree in Molecular Biology, Systems Biology option, is offered through two pathways:

  • An intensive/accelerated one-year pathway during which, alongside coursework, you will complete two laboratory rotations and attend intensive courses at the Summer School, allowing you, among other things, to become familiar with the institute’s 11 platforms.
  • A two-year “traditional” pathway with a thesis. Alongside your research project, you will attend intensive courses at the Summer School, allowing you, among other things, to become familiar with the institute’s 11 platforms.

Both pathways take place within the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC), in one or two of its 29 research teams.

The PhD in Molecular Biology, Systems Biology option, allows you to acquire the concepts and practical skills of systems biology, based on high-throughput technologies such as genomics and proteomics. This training prepares you to meet the challenge of working at the interface of several complementary disciplines to study complex questions associated with multigenic diseases.
