Formation's goal
Career opportunities
Biotechnology is a growing field, there is a strong need for profiles with dual scientific/commercial skills. affect them in various sectors, such as food, molecular biology, pharmaceuticals or energy. Several factors show the importance of this type of training today: Biotechnology is increasingly used in the field of health with the appearance of new drugs of biological origin; the replacement of (i) (ii) numerous tests carried out on animals by in vitro tests on cells or tissues in culture; (iii) the certification of an ever-increasing number of companies and access to quality labels require the implementation of controls based on this type of technique; (iv) analytical and diagnostic methods, which are ever faster and more sensitive, are constantly evolving. work-study programs and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which invest massively in research and development projects. This course provides solid training at the interface of the most applied disciplines: engineering sciences, modelling, engineering, diagnosis and therapy, instrumentation. An innovative pedagogy based on learning by problem and experimental project, internships, which will be set up. In addition, a progressive preparation for the professional integration of students will be ensured.
Biotechnologies and their professions have a bright future ahead of them. They are at the crossroads of several disciplines. The range of outlets and careers is wide open: agri-food, research and development, production, marketing... Based on innovation, they are sources of knowledge and know-how adapted to the evolution of the requirements essential to the preservation of the health of humans and their environment. The Biotechnology and Health sector is aimed at all levels of qualification, from the Baccalaureate, to become a production operator, to the Doctorate, necessary to become a researcher. With a Bachelor's degree, it is possible to obtain a position as a laboratory or production technician, while those who wish to be a technical manager push to obtain a Master's degree. The Biotechnology and Molecular Pathology master's course in the Natural and Life Sciences section aims to train executives and technical advisers able to understand, use and create innovative tools and biotherapies, and work in the field of Health. The objectives of this training therefore aim to: – Develop organizational and relational skills: working independently, initiative, collaborative work, written and oral communication in French and English, use of computer techniques. – Acquire scientific knowledge in Life Sciences, Engineering Sciences and Chemistry – Acquire a critical mind – Use and understand the functioning of technical instruments related to diagnostic and therapeutic engineering, – Know the main applications and uses of biotechnologies used in health as well as the institutional framework of research (actors, funding, evaluation) nationally and internationally. Know the socio-economic world and the biotechnological ecosystem, the main regulations and associated risks.
