Learning unit contents
Modern analytical methods requiring mass spectrometry for research purposes in the field of biomedical sciences but also for industrial purposes (biotechnology and pharmaceuticals) will be taught.
The following themes will be specifically addressed:
- at the technological level: latest technological advances in terms of mass spectrometry and upstream separation techniques; qualitative approaches vs quantitative approaches; microfluidic approaches; molecular imaging
- at the application level: proteomic and peptidomic analyzes; interactomics analyzes; metabolomics and fluxomics analyzes; molecular imaging; single cell analysis; pharma / biotech analyzes (QC, PKPD, tox); clinical / pre-clinical analyzes (biomarker monitoring)
Students will also have the opportunity to discuss these issues with experts and professionals in the field.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
During this course, the techniques and approaches by mass spectrometry most commonly used in biomedical sciences will be taught. Students will learn to select the most suitable operating conditions depending on the application (biological issue and complexity of the sample to be analyzed).
A self-learning process will help the student to gain autonomy to analyze the problems that he might encounter during his professional career. Comparing his ideas with those of his peers and meeting with experts in the field will allow him to learn about collaboration and will aim to facilitate his integration into the professional environment.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The first contact with the teachers will be devoted to the presentation of the topics covered in this course (see section contents of the teaching unit).
Students will individually choose a theme according to their affinity. "Case studies" will then be offered to them by industrialists or researchers (concrete cases of analyzes to be carried out for biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies or in the context of fundamental or clinical research) (problem based learning). The teachers will mark out the written work to be returned with the student. The latter will also have to make an oral presentation to the whole group on the theme he has chosen. Teachers will complete as appropriate.
A visit to the laboratories and infrastructure will also be organized.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
Face-to-face activities alternating with remote activities will be set up. Practical details will be given during an information session at the start of the semester.
