MY NOT ES...
The recent advances in cell and developmental biology (including imaging, stem
cell biology and systems biology) integrate biological mechanisms at multiple
scales, from the level of molecular complexes to the whole organism.
These fundamental discoveries will have significant therapeutic benefits,
notably in cancer biology and regenerative medicine. The “Gene, Cell, and
Development” (GCD) Master course explores molecular, genetic and epigenetic
mechanisms from cell to organism. This training provides the concepts and
methods to understand the variety of processes controlling cell biology during
development, differentiation, and disease.

PREREQUISITES
Access to GCD Course implies mastering the theoretical and methodological
knowledge of the first year of masters in the following
subjects: cell biology, developmental biology, and
genetics. This knowledge may have been acquired by
various combinations of the courses (called Teaching
Units, or UE) proposed in the teaching Platforms
called ‘major’ during first year of Master. The Majors
“Platforms” recommended are “Molecular and Cell
Biology” or “Physiology and Physiopathology”.
We also strongly recommend that candidates follow
the internship Teaching Unit.
OBJECTIVES
RESEARCH
The “Gene, Cell, and Development” Master course is an advanced course
on cell biology during development, differentiation, and disease. A
series of lectures, practical courses and personal research will enable
the students to understand the recent developments and the current
challenges of research around those themes. Science and medical
students will thus acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills
essential for them to understand the research topics of their future host
laboratories, wherever they will pursue academic, applied or clinical
research.
The students following the GCD master will work for six months in a host
research laboratory, to develop a personal research project, under the
close supervision of a mentor. This project will be prepared beforehand,
during a specific Teaching Unit, to explore the litterature of the proposed
subject and to prepare the outline of the final scientific report. At the end
of the research, a written manuscript and and oral presentation (in French
or English) will be evaluated by the master committee. In addition to being
an immersion into laboratory research, this training potentially sets the
basis for a longer Ph.D. project.
PERSPECTIVES
The main job prospects after this second year of masters will be in
fundamental and applied research in France or abroad. This can be
achieved mostly by pursuing a Ph.D. thesis, but a few engineer level
positions are open after a master thesis. Positions will be found in major
academic research institutes, affiliated to University, CNRS, INSERM,
INRA, or CEA. The Ph.D. thesis will open the path to an academic research
career. Aside academia, other job openings will be found in private
companies, as this master degree provides background to become project
manager in research and development, clinical research investigator or
research engineer. This training is also recommended for clinicians and
medical students willing to acquire a fundamental knowledge in cell and
developmental biology and pursue clinical research.
