M2 - Biological systems and physical concepts
Modern biology has led to an extraordinary leap forward in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the living world. This knowledge is now opening up an original and fascinating field of investigation, enabling young physicists and biologists to apply their innovative and theoretical methods to the observation and modelling of biological systems, from the microscopic scale to multicellular systems.
The “Biological Systems and Physical Concepts” track offers BMC students the theme of “Quantitative Approaches to the Physics-Biology Interface” (AQi-PB). The course is designed to bring together students from diverse backgrounds (physics, biology, biochemistry, medicine, etc.) who wish to acquire both conceptual and practical expertise in physical methods for studying biological systems.
Two other themes, “Fundamental approaches to the physics-biology interface” and “Genetic approaches to the physics-biology interface”, are offered to students with a solid background in physics who wish to acquire additional training in biology while pursuing their physics studies.
The SBCP track is co-accredited by Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité and Université Paris Saclay.
