Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
  • Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in biochemistry and in molecular and cell biology.
    • Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
    • Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
  • Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
    • Understand unprecedented problems in biological sciences, and more specifically in biochemistry and molecular and cell biology and its applications.
  • Master communication techniques.
    • Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
    • Master the techniques of written and oral scientific communication in both French and English.
  • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
    • Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
  • Apply scientific methodology.
    • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

To be able to analyze correctly biological data with time-dependencies, to fit a nonlinear model (kinetic curve, growth model, dose-response curve, etc.) and to find useful information in a large dataset using data mining and machine learning tools. To be able to present results in a reproducible way (reports) and to use professional software in data science: R, RStudio, R Markdown, git.

Content of UE

Space-time series; machine learning; random forest; discriminant analysis; nonlinear regression; growth model; dose-response curve; Von Bertalanffy; Richards; Weibull; Gompertz; R and RStudio software including R Markdown and Notebook, git.

Prior Experience

Bases in data science, including project management, data importation and transformation, visualization of data through graphs and writing of reproducible reports. General uni- and multivariate statistics.
