Track A
Molecular and Cellular bases of Infectious diseases
Courses are taught by a multidisciplinary team of speakers (physicians, pharmacists, veterinarians and scientists) from the university François-Rabelais Tours and INRA as well as scholars or guest lecturers at the cutting-edge of their field of research.
The aim of this track is to offer students a broad opening on experimental approachs, from the understanding of concepts to the set up of an experiment plan. The diversity of teams involved help student address a wide range of scientific areas within a multi-disciplinary curriculum.

- Module 9.1 Infectious Diseases and Public Health
- Module 9.2 Host-Pathogen Interactions
- Module 9.3 Mucosal Immunity
- Module 9.4 Induction and Control of the Immune Response
- Module 9.5 Professional Insertion and Scientific English

- Module 9.6a Molecular Mechanisms of Virulence
- Module 9.7a Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance
- Module 9.8a Endosymbiogenesis and Evolution, Transgenesis
- Module 9.9a Infectious Agents and Cancer
Assesment
- Critical analysis of a scientific article /40
- Written exam for courses common to all tracks /40
- 3 oral presentations (Host-pathogen interactions, Immune response, Molecular mechanisms of virulence) / 20 per presentation
- Written exam for track-specific courses / 40
Semester 10 program
The second semester consists of a full-time practical training in a research laboratory. This training will give students the opportunity to put to work the knowledge acquired during the previous semesters and develop a research project within a well-established research group. If student wishes, the training can take place in a foreign laboratory. Training is then evaluated through a written report and an oral defence.
