This is an initial approach to the integrative biology of organisms.

This EU, called "From Cells to Organisms," addresses structure-function relationships at different scales, from the cell (or even molecule) to the organism in its living environment.

The end-of-year introductory research project (lasting one week to 10 days) is one of the CPES's unique features: it consists of an immersion in a research laboratory, accompanied by presentations of research projects, with the possible participation of students for one or two half-days. The aim is to provide an understanding of the challenges of a research project and the contributions of modeling, computer science, and digital simulation. A presentation is required in the form of a poster or short report and an oral presentation before a jury.

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