Presentation
The course provides a mastery of the concepts and technologies of Aging, senescence and aging in relation to R&D applications in the health sector.
Objectives
Design and implementation of strategies and new markers of aging and senescence in the dermocosmetic, clinical and industrial sectors.
Know-how and skills
- To develop new predictive, methodological, diagnostic and/or therapeutic strategies in R&D, applicable to issues related to Aging and senescence;
- Respond to the emerging needs of functional screens in aging by mastering the use of genetic regulation networks, integrated models and their applications on latest generation robotic platforms. Designing the themes and methods of experimentation - Designing and adapting research work to the problems of Aging and Anti-Aging in dermocosmetics and aging - Interpreting the results and drawing up an appropriate strategy;
- To design and implement batteries of selection tests in biotechnology for molecules of therapeutic interest in the pathologies of aging in connection with the molecular mechanisms of the cancer-senescence group;
- Mastering epigenetic diagnostic tools and biomarkers of aging to design, perform and interpret in vitro studies ;
- Elaborate qualification protocols for nanosystems by means of studies defining the field of validity of processes and materials; Evaluation of relevant nano devices at the scientific, economic, patentability and competitive intelligence levels;
- Design applications of nanotechnologies and biomaterials in the fields of Aging/senescence, aging and diagnosis by treatment or in galenics (nano-probes, nano-objects etc.) - Analyze the results and know how to extrapolate the potential therapeutic interest according to the dose and the physiological age of the patient;
- To provide data that allows to adapt a molecular target to a development protocol in Aging dermocosmetics;
- Perform comparative analyses integrating demographic, epidemiological and pharmaco-economic data in order to define sub-populations of seniors. Correlate genomic data with observations in order to derive relevant candidate senescence markers for applications in the fields of health, industrial development and dermocosmetics.
