Track C
Immunotherapeutics and Therapeutic antibodies
Courses are taught by a multidisciplinary team of speakers (physicians, pharmacists, veterinarians and scientists) from the university François-Rabelais Tours , the CNRS and INRA as well as partners from the Labex Mabimprove.
Teaching mainly deals with the set up of therapeutic antibodies, their immunopharmacology and with immunotherapies. This track provides students with theoretical knowledge in infectious diseases, immunology and clinical development. Good laboratory practices, ethics and patent filing are also taught.

Semester 10 program
The second semester consists of a full-time practical training in a research laboratory or in an industry. This training will give students the opportunity to evaluate the capacity to adapt to a very demanding field where development depends on the efficiency of every production and control participant. Training is then evaluated through a written report and an oral defence, covered by confidential agreements if necessary.
