Objectives

The objective of this degree is to train students in the new methods resulting from "omics" technologies (structural and functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics...). The originality of the pedagogical project is to ensure a double competence in genomics/molecular biology and in animal experimentation
(level II accreditation) while preserving the knowledge of reference technologies in the analysis of living organisms.
