 Master’s in Biotechnologies

The Master’s degree in Biotechnologies welcomes students from different backgrounds (pharmacists, biotech engineers specialised in biomanufacturing, synthetic biology or high throughput analysis and students who have completed a 3-year university course in Biology). It equips them with specific scientific and technical skills to meet the challenges presented by the development of biotechnology.

The course is made up of four complementary units:

  • Synthetic biology
  • Biotechnology and high throughput analysis
  • Biopharmaceuticals: Conception & Production
  • Interdisciplinary Approaches to Data Science

The Master can be taken under a work-study contract with apprenticeship status.

The training offer is divided into four complementary courses:

 Synthetic Biology Course

The Synthetic Biology course (BS) aims to teach students about redesigning biological organisms. Students acquire skills in the design, construction and analysis of artificial genetic circuits  and reprogramming biological systems to solve problems in the health sector: diagnosis, treatment, biomanufacturing and drug screening.

 Training program 

 High Throughput Analysis Course

The High Throughput Analysis course (HD) aims to introduce students to the use of the latest data science methods for analysing big data in biology (omics, etc.). Students will cover subjects such as deep learning methods (AI), which has numerous diverse applications in different fields of biotechnology. These tools are essential for developing new experimental biotech approaches and designing customised products and services, especially in the health sector.

 Biopharmaceuticals: Design and Production Course

The Biopharmaceuticals: design and production course (BCP) aims to teach students about the tools used for the design, development and biomanufacturing of innovative biotech drugs and the latest methods used in diagnosis and customising treatments. At the end of their course, Pharmacy students have the opportunity to participate in implementing a Quality Assurance policy or the registration and lifecycle management of biomedicines, biosimilars and biotech diagnostic tools.

 Biotechnology and Data Science Course

Making use of big data gathered by medical research represents a major challenge for the health sector. It requires combining information from very different sources, such as a genome with data from a health and immunisation booklet, to extract the relevant information. This AISD course was created to support this transformation and meet growing demand from business.  Students are taught Biotechnology at ESBS, as well as data science (data mining, data modelling, deep learning, decision-making tools, etc.).
