Teaching
Knowledge transfer is essential, in order to train future scientists, but also to inform citizens about research progress. Many members of our center are involved in teaching (see Teaching team).
Lecturers in the unit – 3 professors and 7 assistant professors – do most of the teaching but Ph.D. students, post-docs, and researchers are also much involved in this transmission.

Ph.D. students and post-docs in the unit teach university and pharmacology students in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Toxicology, and Biostatistics/Bioinformatics.
Professors and assistant professors in the unit teach in diverse fields ranging from Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biostatistics/Bioinformatics to Methodology or Neurosciences courses. They teach from 1st-year bachelor level to Master 2, in all the University programs.
Researchers in the unit mainly teach Master’s and Ph.D. modules in Cell Biology, Genetics, and Molecular Biology.
Teaching on Université Paris Cité campus:
- Life science Bachelor’s degree, in the different programs of the Life Science department: Science de la Vie (in the 4 specializations), Science de la Vie et de la Terre, European Master of Genetics, Double licence Informatique / Biologie, Double licence METIS.
- Practical Bachelor’s degree (Licence Pro): Microbiologie Industrielle et Biotechnologies.
- Master’s degree: Neurosciences, Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Biologie Intégrative et Physiologie, Bioinformatique, Risques et Environnement, European Master of Genetics, Ethique (Conseiller en génétique).
- Doctoral training
- University degree : DU Bioinformatique intégrative, DU Création, analyse et valorisation de données biologiques omiques.
- Pharmacy (4th year)
Teaching outside the campus:
In other universities (Sorbonne Université, Montpellier University, Université Paris-Saclay), in Grandes Ecoles (Ecoles normales supérieures ENS Ulm / ENS Paris-Saclay / ENS Lyon, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Ecole polytechnique), at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, at the Roscoff Bioinformatics school, at Curie institute courses, at Cancéropole Ile-de-France, or overseas in the Agricultural University of Athens.
