Master 2 in Systems and Synthetic Biology

University/Institute: University of Evry-Val-d'Essonne / Paris-Saclay (UEVE)
Location: France - Evry
Focus: Other: Synthetic Biology
Recommended Undergraduate Degrees: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Math/Statistics, Other: biophysics
Degree Offered: MS/MSc/MA/M.Eng (< 1 year)MS/MSc/MA/M.Eng (Major/Primary Degree)

Key characteristics of program:

The vigorous development of Systems and Synthetic Biology constitutes a huge challenge that must be met both from the research and education perspectives. This Master 2 in Systems and Synthetic Biology (mSSB) represents the first step towards nurturing a new brand of researchers and engineers to face up to the challenge.

Added values of mSSB:
- Diploma from Paris Saclay University
- The first Master 2 in France teaching Synthetic Biology.
- Scientific environment: Paris region, the first European R&amp;amp;amp;D concentration; Genopole® of Evry, the leading French Biopark, with 20 academic laboratories and 70 biotech companies; Excellent research facilities offered on-site.
- World-class research training laboratories.
- Limited number of stipends offered to foreign students.
- First row seat in the international Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition (MIT, USA).

Program Goals:

The aim of mSSB is to provide students from the Life Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, Chemistry, Physical and Computer Sciences a mean to fruitfully engage in collaborative work across disciplinary boundaries, with applications in Systems and Synthetic Biology. Students undertaking the course will gain hands-on experience in experimental Biology, modelling and designing. They will also enhance transversal capacities including planning a project, giving a seminar, writing and defending a scientific report, interacting with a community, perceiving the industrial, economical and ethical issues associated with these developing fields.
