Licences and masters

Several teaching and research staff from the Functional and Adaptive Biology Unit are responsible for teaching programs at Université Paris Cité, directly related to some of the Unit’s research themes.

  • Life Sciences Bachelor’s degree (Nathalie Janel).
  • Co-directors of the “Molecular and Cellular Biology” (Fernando Rodrigues Lima and Mireille Viguier), “Biology-Computing” (Anne-Claude Camproux) and “Integrative Biology and Physiology” (Jamileh Movassat and Sandrine Middendorp), “Neurosciences” (Giuseppe Gangarossa) master’s programs.
    Direction/co-management of M1 courses: (Cécile Tourrel-Cuzin): M1 BIP
  • Co-direction of “Nutrition, Métabolisme énergétique, Signalisation” (Jamileh Movassat); “Biomolécules, Biologie et Pathologie Moléculaires” (Jean-Marie Dupret ; Fernando Rodrigues Lima), “In Silico Drug-Design – Modélisation des Macromolécules” (Anne-Claude Camproux; Olivier Taboureau), “In Silico Drug Design – Bioactive Molecules” (Anne-Claude Camproux; Olivier Taboureau), “Biologie-Informatique / Ingénierie de Plate-Forme en Biologie” (Delphine Flatters; Gautier Moroy), “Biologie du Vieillissement-BioVie” (Véronique Monnier). “Reproduction and Development” (David L’Hôte).
    In addition, several teaching units (UE) are under the responsibility of the unit’s teacher-researchers.
