Parcours : Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases
The objective of the "Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases" subprogam is to provide students with quality training enabling them to pursue a PhD program in the field of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases associated with diabetes. An overview of the most recent research in this area, in connection with the Labex EGID units, will be provided. Part of the training is dedicated to recent developments in "Omics", the impact of genetics, epigenetics and the environment on the development of cardio-metabolic diseases, the cardiovascular and hepatic complications of diabetes. The role of deregulation of the dialogue between organs and tissues in the pathophysiology of diseases associated with diabetes is discussed as well as the identification of therapeutic targets.
Specialization teaching
This non-disciplinary transversal teaching unit offered for all students regardless of their specialization aims to either know how to analyze and interpret autonomously data from experimental or clinical research, or, if these skills are already acquired, to update their knowledge in terms of physiology / pathophysiology and characterization of the major pathologies on which research is focused at the University of Lille (Cancer - Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases - Neurosciences - Inflammation, immunity and infection). |
Block of Skills and Knowledge -BCC 3: Develop and implement an experimental approach in Biology and Health.
Elective teaching: 2 teaching subunits (1 choice from 2)
- Basic biostatistics. Learn more (PDf, 118 Ko)
- Pathophysiology upgrading. Learn more (PDF, 118 Ko)
Test: written test
The purpose of this non-disciplinary teaching unit is to provide knowledge regarding the organization of research in France and at the international level, the regulations in bio-medical research and principles of ethics applied to research. It incorporates a presentation of the various research positions and exchanges with professionals.
|
This non-disciplinary cross-sectional teaching unit aims to allow each student to prepare the research project they will personally conduct during the year of M2. |
The purpose of this fundamental disciplinary teaching unit is to provide knowledge enabling students to approach later more specialized courses in the fields of immunity, inflammation and infection. Several teaching subunits (JT) are provided. Each is organized during one day around a specific topic. Student choose six subunits related to their research project and / or essential in their specialization area. During the JT, theoretical concepts are presented through mini-conferences by experts in the field. Teaching through flipping classrooms methods are also used with presentations by students of recent research related to the topic of the day. |
