I nter d iscip l inar y M aster in Li f e S ciences paris sciences & l ettres The Interdisciplinary Master in Life Sciences (IMaLiS) offers interdisciplinary and quantitative training in biology to scientists, engineers and doctors, with specialisations in four main domains: Systems biology, genomics and bioinformatics, Neurosciences, Fundamental biology for health, Ecology and evolution. Built on the renowned expertise of several schools and research institutes of Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) - École normale supérieure, ESPCI Paris, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, MINES ParisTech, Collège de France, Institut Curie, Institut Pasteur, Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique - this Master also relies on partnerships with other universities, including the Université Pierre & Marie Curie (UPMC). — I ndividual mentoring: a mentor is assigned to MAIN ASSETS — Interdisciplinarity: extensive training in biology and related disciplines (mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer sciences). — Combination of a general training with advanced each student to guide his selection of courses, internships and the finalisation of his teaching program. MD/PhD students benefit from dual scientific and medical mentoring. — Availability of fellowships (10,000 €/year) for some foreign students applying for M2. specialisation in key emerging fields. — Research training and innovation through research: students engage in two five-month internships, in two different academic or private research laboratories, in France or abroad. — International dimension with courses taught in English. French courses are offered to Foreign students. — E xcellence of teaching. The program relies on outstanding French teaching institutions as well as on prestigious research institutes deeply involved in advanced teaching. — Quality of the research laboratories of PSL Research University. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES The Interdisciplinary Master in Life Sciences leads to a large number of opportunities. It provides an excellent training for researchers, university teachers, MD/PhD, wet lab managers or engineers, in the public sector, as well as in the context of Research & Development of private companies (pharmaceutical, biotechnological innovation etc.). PROGRAM Master 1 (60 ECTS) Master 2 (60 ECTS) Semester 1 Five lecture courses are to be chosen among an extensive set of teaching units* devoted to the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and skills in life sciences, along with optional courses preparing the ground for M2 specialisations. Semester 1 4 main specialisations proposed, with possible hybridisation: — Systems biology, genomics and bioinformatics — Neurosciences — Fundamental biology for health — Ecology and evolution Semester 2 A 5-month research internship, often abroad. Semester 2 A 5-month research internship, in an academic or private research environment, in order to enable each student to deepen his training at a chosen frontier of biological research.
