MASTER BIOLOGY, AGROSCIENCES

Plant biology for the agro-environment

The Plant Biology for the Agro-Environment (BiPa) program offers a multi-disciplinary training program focusing on knowledge generated from major study models such as Arabidopsis thaliana , but also from cultivated plants that are now establishing themselves as true models (rice, maize, etc.). Our training covers the full range of plant biology topics (developmental biology, mineral nutrition and metabolism, plant adaptation to climate change, plant-microorganism interactions, ecophysiology). In addition to the classical approaches to biology, we also focus on modeling and bioinformatics, disciplines that are currently essential for making the most of the massive data generated on a daily basis.

Objectives

This course is designed to be both generalist and high-level. Its aim is to train students with broad general knowledge, as well as cutting-edge expertise in the plant sector. Ultimately, this course will enable you to continue your training in fundamental or applied research (PhD), or to pursue a career in modern agriculture.

This master's program also strives to give students the autonomy they need to facilitate their integration into the professional world, through dedicated teaching units (project management) and numerous group projects offered in the various TU.

At the end of their training, BiPa graduates have the best knowledge and opportunities to become the researchers and research engineers of the coming years, who will be able to respond to the scientific and societal challenges linked to the plant world (fundamental science, biotechnologies, climate change, agro-ecology).
