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.

Objectives
The aim of this Master's program is to train engineers and researchers in the field of pathophysiology, and more specifically in the treatment of pathophysiology, using current experimental and regenerative medicine tools.
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.

Admission
Access conditions
Applications can be submitted on the following platforms:
French & European students :
- For M1, follow the "My Master" procedure on the website: https: //www.monmaster.gouv.fr/
- For M2, students must submit their application via the e-candidat application: https: //candidature.umontpellier.fr/candidature
Target audience
The MER pathway is aimed at students in Science, Medicine, Pharmacy, Odontology and the National Veterinary and Engineering Schools.
It is primarily aimed at students wishing to pursue a university thesis in the field of physiology/physiopathology, with a particular focus on modern therapeutic methods in humans.
Necessary prerequisites
Students in medicine, dentistry and pharmacology with an equivalent Master 1 research degree, and students from other disciplines with a solid grounding in physiology.
Recommended prerequisites
Nothing more than indicated above.
And then
Further studies
University doctorate, dual-skills master's degree.
Studying abroad
Students graduating from this master's program can pursue a doctorate abroad (based on previous classes, the destinations are Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, etc.).
