Immunology and ImmunoPathologies (I2P)
Presentation
By choosing the Immunology and Immunopathologies track, you will specialize in the study of the immune response in normal and pathological situations such as infections, cancer and autoimmune or inflammatory diseases.
Objectives
The Immunology and ImmunoPathologies course of the BMC master’s degree is a training through and to research integrating the acquisition of the most advanced fundamental, clinical, applied and technological knowledge in the field. It aims at designing and conducting an experimental research project (masterials) and a critical analysis of concepts and observations (dialogues in immunology and seminars). These skills are practiced in a professional environment during the 6-month internship in an experimental research laboratory.
- To master the functioning of the immune system during the development of the individual or during pathological situations. Know the recent advances in immunotherapy.
- To know and implement the classic and most advanced technologies in the field of immunology.
- To deepen the knowledge and skills adapted to the research project through complementary training, including experimental workshops and the most specialized theoretical training.
- To contribute to the realization of a fundamental research program with a written report and oral presentation with critical analysis.
