This is a first approach to the integrative biology of organisms.
In this course, named "from cells to organisms", the structure-function relationships at different scales are studied, from the cell (or even the molecule) to the organism in its living environment.

The introductory research project (one week to 10 days) at the end of the year is one of the original hallmarks of CPES: it consists of immersion in a research laboratory, accompanied by presentations of research projects, with students participating for one or two half-days. The aim is to help students understand the challenges of a research project, and the contributions of modeling, computing and digital simulation. A poster or short report and an oral presentation before a panel of judges.

ECTS

Faculty of Science
In this course, we will go through each stage of the life cycle of organisms (mainly in metazoans and angiosperms) through a series of practical exercises covering: embryonic development (including organ development, cell differentiation and growth processes), acquisition of reproductive capacity (including the stages associated with meiosis and gametogenesis), and fertilization. This series of assignments is combined with a series of tutorials to address problems in the transmission of genetic information.
