Biology-Health, Microbiology platform

The Microbiology platform of the Health Biology master's offers many teaching units that cover various aspects of both fundamental and applied microbiology. The platform offers theoretical teaching units (UE) providing an integrated vision of the microbial world relating to the aspects of biodiversity, evolution, genetic, physiological and metabolic characteristics of microorganisms as well as the interactions between them. Other teaching units dedicated more specifically to bacteriology, virology, or parasitology make it possible to deal with aspects related to microbial pathogens (phytopathogens, anti-infective therapies, immune response) or to learn about the study of microorganisms of interest. industrial (microbial biotechnology). The platform also offers a range of practical teaching units allowing students to work on microbiological questions using various techniques (microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, RNA interference, genetic engineering) on ​​different study models (bacteria, yeast , protists, viruses). Students interested in industrial microbiology have access to an experimental bioengineering course.
