Presentation
This two-year training program covers the major physiological functions and the most advanced methods for normalizing homeostasis disturbed by pathologies. This translational approach is made possible by the numerous interactions between fundamentalists and clinicians.
Targeted approaches and especially modern therapeutic methods in humans are discussed.
It relies on the skills of specialists from research units in Montpellier and the national territory.

Objectives
The objectives of this master's program are to train engineers and researchers in the field of physiopathology and more specifically on their treatment using the current tools of experimental and regenerative medicine.
Know-how and skills
The skills acquired are oriented around knowledge of integrated physiology and physiopathology. In addition to the specific know-how acquired during the two laboratory internships, students graduating from the master's degree in experimental and regenerative medicine have acquired know-how in the analysis of articles, the writing of research projects, the reporting of experiments, the synthesis of reports as well as the oral presentation of scientific results.
Organization
Program
In the first year, the fundamentals of integrated physiology are reinforced and certain physiopathological mechanisms are addressed. An internship of 2 to 6 months allows the student to have a first contact with a research laboratory.
In the second year, the emphasis is on the most innovative methods of treating chronic pathologies (diabetes, heart failure, myopathies, chronic inflammatory pathologies, etc.) Regenerative medicine, its principles and clinical applications are particularly developed.
