About the Program

In the 2nd year in Chemistry for life sciences, classes will focus on chemistry at the interface with biology and its applications, with, in particular, courses on bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. The teaching units in bioorganic chemistry focuses on the synthesis, engineering and modification of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids and sugars) in order to obtain therapeutic, diagnostic or targeting tools. As for the UE in Bioinorganic chemistry, its aim is to understand the role of metals in living systems in order to best imitate the way in which they work and anticipate how they interact with biomolecules. A course of biology specific to the 2nd year's master CLS program raises students' awareness about the different innovative biological targets which have significant therapeutic and diagnostic interest.
