Physiology and Functional Genomics (PGF)

After a first year in the Louis Pasteur scientific portal , the last two years of the Life Sciences degree in Physiology and Functional Genomics (PGF) aims to train students in the fields of Biology by developing knowledge and skills in human physiology, physiopathologies, biotechnologies, evolutionary functional genomics, epigenetics, pharmacology, biostatistics. The aim of the training is to understand living things in an integrated way by relying on molecular and cellular knowledge, to characterize their functioning at the scale of an organism and in particular of humans. This training is based on innovative teaching methods using the latest results of scientific research and analyzing them in depth. It also allows students to work in a project team (through a compulsory internship or work to create an activity) on themes related to physiology, physiopathology, functional genomics and evolution and to directly implement the project developed. It facilitates the acquisition of transversal skills (language learning, communication tools, job search techniques, etc.) linked to skills acquisition objectives in the aforementioned areas. The “Physiology and Functional Genomics” course allows the student:

to have theoretical and practical training in the most recent fields of physiology, pathophysiology and genomics.

to acquire the ability to observe, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, work in a team, and finalize a project.

Throughout their course, students develop skills that enable them to align their training with their professional project.
