Master 2 Systems & synthetic biology - Parcours de la mention Biologie intégrative et physiologie

Systems Biology is the study of biological systems and network behaviors, and in particular their dynamic aspects, which requires the utilization of mathematical modeling tightly linked to experiment. Synthetic Biology can been defined as the design and construction of new biological parts, devices and systems (that do not already exist in the natural world) or the redesign and fabrication of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes. Its goal is to learn how to engineer and build self-organizing systems that recapitulate biological functions and show new functions with industrial applications in environment, health care, biomaterials and energy. The vigorous development of Systems and Synthetic Biology constitutes a huge challenge that must be met both from the research and education perspectives. The Master 2 in Systems & Synthetic Biology (mSSB) represents the first step towards nurturing a new brand of interdisciplinary researchers and engineers to face up to the challenge. mSSB is the first Master 2 in France dedicated to Systems and Synthetic Biology. It is proposed by the University of Evry-val-d’Essonne together with its partners at UPSay (AgroParisTech and Telecom SudParis) or outside UPSay (Sup’Biotech and University of Freiburg (Germany).
