Systems in which at least one dimension is smaller than a micrometer, or even approaching a nanometer, have specific properties that are exploited in many fields. Some of them have reached a sufficient degree of maturity to be used in large-scale applications. The production and understanding of such systems rely on an inherently multidisciplinary approach.
Thanks to their complementary nature, the laboratories at the Grenoble center have played a pioneering role in both research and training. This has led to the creation of a master's degree program associated with the Erasmus Mundus program. Combined with other bilateral agreements, this gives the master's program a strong international focus.
As a result,all second-year courses and some first-year courses are taught in English. The Nanotechnology major offers four tracks. Two of them are specifically designed for students who have earned bachelor's degrees in biology, chemistry/biology, chemistry, and/or physics/chemistry.
The training program lasts two years. It aims to provide tools for synthesizing and characterizing systems at the nanoscale.
The first year provides students with a common foundation of knowledge, particularly in the field of materials. Optional courses then allow each student to develop more specific skills depending on their chosen field of study.
The first semester of the second year follows the same logic, with optional teaching units allowing students to strengthen links with other courses, in particular to reinforce the concepts that will be implemented during the laboratory internship in the second semester.
Nanobiology Course
Many biological objects are intrinsically sub-micrometric or nanometric in size. The two-year Nanobiology program teaches the most modern techniques for designing and studying such objects. We present these methods and concepts both in the context of fundamental research and with a view to applications in biotechnology and human health.
The first year is specifically tailored to students with a background in life sciences, with several courses devoted to updating or acquiring the basic concepts and skills in mathematics and physics necessary to understand the complex physical properties of biological systems. At the end of the first year, students are ready to tackle interdisciplinary projects.
The second year offers general interest courses, but also a choice of specialization courses covering various topics in nanobiology, such as the development of biosensors or biomedical devices, microfluidics, single-cell manipulation, etc. A distinctive feature of the second year is the high level of interaction with Grenoble INP.
