Presentation

This 2-year course covers the major physiological functions and the most advanced methods for normalizing homeostasis disturbed by pathologies. This translational approach is made possible by numerous interactions between fundamentalists and clinicians.

Targeted approaches and, more specifically, modern therapeutic methods in humans are discussed.

It draws on the skills of specialists from research units in Montpellier and throughout France.

Know-how and skills

The skills acquired focus on knowledge of integrated physiology and pathophysiology. In addition to the specific skills acquired during the two laboratory internships, students graduating from the Master's program in Experimental and Regenerative Medicine have acquired skills in analyzing articles, writing research projects, reporting experiments, summarizing reports and presenting scientific results orally.

Organization

Program

In the first year, the fundamentals of integrated physiology are reinforced and certain pathophysiological mechanisms are addressed. An internship lasting 2 to 6 months provides initial 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 diseases, etc.). Regenerative medicine, its principles and clinical applications are particularly developed.
