Browse Programs Admission InformationThis training provides the student with a solid training profile in a discipline among life sciences both laboratory and field. It aims to open up prospects for training profiles and occupations in which knowledge of biological and physiological problems is important. This discipline aims at training with a wide range of knowledge and skills in animal biology and physiology allowing an opening to very diverse sectors: agronomic, veterinary, biomedical, dietetic, pharmaceutical, agri-food, biotechnology, environment....
Basic courses are designed to provide students with the basics of biological science and animal physiology in order to give basic concepts necessary to understand the basic principles of specialization:
Molecular and Cellular Biology:
Studies the basic mechanisms of life at the cellular and molecular level, such as transcription, translation and gene regulation.
Brings skills to work on cell culture, recombinant DNA techniques, PCR and protein analysis.
Physiologically the main functions of animal organisms (vertebrates and invertebrates)
Analyzes the work of physiological organs (neurological, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, etc.).
Understanding biological adaptations and interactions between the environment and organisms.
Bioengineering:
Application of biological principles for the development of technologies in the fields of biotechnology, pharmacology and bioengineering.
Includes biomolecule production, biological hydration and industrial biological production.
Management and conservation of biodiversity:
Study the classification, identification and protection of animal species.
involves developing strategies for preserving ecosystems and combating biodiversity loss.
Basic and clinical research:
Applied research in biomedical sciences and clinical trials to develop new treatments.
Integrates animal experiments and cell models to understand disease mechanisms.
Environmental protection:
analyses the impact of human activities on ecosystems and proposes solutions for sustainable management of natural resources.
Includes ecological toxicology and pollution monitoring.
Public Health and Agriculture:
Study the links between biology and the fields of medicine, nutrition and epidemiology.
Provides knowledge about animal disease management, food hygiene and health safety.
Innovation and promotion of biological products:

- Master in Biology and Physiology of Animal Nutrition
Advanced materials address in great depth the concepts and techniques presented in the core courses and offer more specialized areas. It is generally reserved for students who already have a solid foundation in biology and animal physiology. Here are some examples of advanced topics
1. Physiology of key functions
Study the nervous system, endocrinology, digestive system, circulation, respiratory system, output and reproductive system of animals.
It analyses the physiological organization and interactions between these systems.
2. Neurophysiology
It delves into the work of neurons, synapse transmission, and mechanisms involved in reactions and behaviors.
Study of diseases of the nervous system (neurodegeneration, neuromuscular disorders).
3. Animal endocrinology
Study hormones and their role in regulating physiological functions (growth, metabolism, reproduction, stress).
Analysis of endocrine disorders and interactions between the nervous system and the hormonal system.
4. Immunology
Study mechanisms for defending the body against infection (innate and adaptive immunity).
Analysis of immune responses, autoimmune diseases and immune diseases.
5. Evolutionary biology and embryology
Studies the stages of embryonic development in animals.
Includes cell differentiation, organic composition and growth abnormalities.
6. Comparative Physiology
The physiological adaptations of animals are compared to different environments (marine, terrestrial, aerial).
Studies of survival strategies such as hibernation, domestic heat and osmotic regulation.
7. Bioenergy and metabolism
Metabolic processes related to energy production and consumption in animals.
Study cellular respiration, metabolic pathways and thermoregulation.
8. Ethics and biology
Analysis of animal behavior (communication, reproduction, migration, learning).
Biological foundation studies and environmental impacts on behaviour.
9. Animal Toxicology
Study the effects of toxins and contaminants on animal organisms.
Analysis of toxicity mechanisms and physiological responses to pollutants.
10. Experimental techniques in animal biology:
Studies methods of studying animal biology (microscopy, cell culture, tissue science, electrical physiology).
Learn in animal models and in the lab
