Sorbonne Université - Master de Sciences et Technologies - mention Chimie

At the end of the course, students will be able to first: identify and explain the numerous strategies used by nature to solve materials problems in an efficient way, and second: describe the chemical and physical concepts by which biological materials are processed and interprete their critical structure/function relationships (case studies will involve materials relevant to the human body (collagen, elastin, bone) as well as those from model organisms (arthropods, mollusks, cephalopods)). The course will also be the opportunity to learn some of the basic concepts and techniques used in life sciences (proteomics tools, gene cloning and protein engineering, protein chemistry), which will allow students to communicate more efficiently with life scientists in their future research activities.
