Browse Programs Admission InformationThe master’s degree in applied biochemistry offers a multidisciplinary and highly qualified teaching at the forefront of current research in life sciences through several areas of competence such as analytical biochemistry, metabolic biochemistry and physiology, biochemical engineering, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, bioinformatics and biotechnologies by supplementing the theoretical knowledge of fundamental biochemistry acquired in Bachelor’s degree with knowledge in the fields of bio-engineering and bio-biotechnologyanalysis to create new opportunities for living and exploit them on a large scale.
This course proposes to develop the methodology and experimental rigor essential for research and development work as well as analytical tools in the field of biochemistry. Provides cutting-edge knowledge in cellular energy production, biomolecules and enzymology by understanding the biochemical mechanisms in place.
The training allows to integrate data at the molecular level in order to find daily applications and understand the different cellular mechanisms.
The link between theory and practice is made through practical internships in biochemical laboratories and bio-industries.
The basic courses, organized in four semesters spread over two academic years, are part of a multidisciplinary approach linked to other specialties, such as microbiology, genetics and molecular biology. Some examples of topics covered in the core courses include :
1. Bioenergetics : The study of the transformations of the energy brought by the external environment to the cell, and this in a way usable for it. This theme is important for understanding the biochemical reactions of energy metabolism.
2. Chemical engineering : This course is designed to provide the student with the necessary knowledge of solution chemistry and chemical engineering unit operations including chemical analysis and separation methods.
3. Proteomics : The objective of this teaching is to enable the student to learn the techniques of studying all proteins present in the body.
4. The instrumental methods of analysis : The objective of teaching is to train the student in analytical techniques and devices used in laboratories for analysis, control and research.
5. Biochemistry and microbial physiology : Describe the information of bacterial physiology and metabolic pathways of degradation and biosynthesis.
6. Genomics and Bioinformatics : This course introduces the student to techniques and methods of structural and functional analysis of the genome of living organisms.
7. Immunohematology : Have necessary theoretical knowledge on hematology, and experimental immunology.
8. Pharmacotoxicology : Have the theoretical knowledge necessary to implement experimental pharmacology.
Know how to implement experimental protocols for the study:
· Of the drug-receptor interaction
· Pharmacological activity for the broad therapeutic classes
Advanced subjects deepen the concepts and techniques presented in the basic courses and introduce more specialized areas. They are generally intended for students who already have a solid foundation in Toxicology and Chemistry. Here are some examples of advanced subjects :
1. Biochemical Engineering
2.Analytical and quantitative biochemistry
3. Biochemistry and nutritional physiology in humans
4. The culture of cells
5. The synthesis of biomolecules
6. Studies of experiments on animals
Any student with a LMD degree in the following specialties :
- Biochemistry
- Microbiology
- Microbial biotechnology
