Nano-biosciences

The main objective of this track is to provide students with strong scientific and technical knowledge in micro- and nano-fabrication, manipulation, measurement and instrumentation at the nano-scale. This include among other, the functionnalization of surfaces, the manipulation of single cells, the use of optical techniques for observation and manipulation of single bio-molecules, etc... The program provides students with strong basis in biology, allowing them  to pursue ambitious projects at the interface between biology and nano-technologies.

 This track offers two main perspectives:

• continue with a PhD, in France or abroad. The interdisciplinar character of this track leads to a wide variety of domains, ranging from nanotechnologies in biophysics, to subjects more oriented toward biology or health engineering.
• engineer in a company or an organism, in the domain of nanotechnologies, biosciences, health engineering, regenerative medecine and/or biotechnologies.

 The curriculum contains:

• general courses corresponding to 12 ECTS, among which 6 include the study of a foreign language
• transverse courses in nanosciences  and nanotechnologies (15 credits) with a large focus on experimental teaching and projects on the cleanrooms and nanosciences facilities of the Grenoble area
• specific courses in nano-biosciences, (30 ECTS spread over the two years)
• elective courses (totalizing 33 credits) for further specialization or opening in nanosciences 
• internships in research teams, 8 weeks the 1st year and 5 months the 2nd year, for preparing the master thesis.

Program requirements

    • Entry in 1st year (M1): Bachelor's degree in chemistry or physics or equivalent degree.
     • Entry in 2nd year (M2): students who have validated the 1st year of a master degree of a compatible degree or equivalent level.
