Objectives of general skills

• Scientific skills
• Implement and independently carry out an experimental approach, validate a model by comparing its predications with experimental results, assess the limitations of the model's validity, and identify sources or error.
• Use acquisition and data analysis software specific to biomedical sciences
• Be familiar with biomedical science research tools, including bioinformatics tools.
• Use the main measuring instruments and identify sources of error.
• Appropriately select measuring instruments, analyse and process the signal obtained
• Use basic mathematical tools
• Master the statistical tools for life sciences
• Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
• Professional integration skills
• Invest their knowledge and skills in professional scenarios
• Network, and use digital communication and collaboration tools
• In the digital age, be responsible for the mastery of their digital identity, and respect the rules on privacy and intellectual property
• Be accountable for their actions and practices in decision-making regarding humans, biodiversity, the environment and society
• Be aware of ethical issues and apply ethical codes specific to life sciences in their behaviour
• Work independently: - Get organised, manage time and priorities, assess themself. - Master assessment methods. - Continue learning individually, prepare to educate themselves throughout life. - Demonstrate abstract thinking. - Be introduced to project management. - Show initiative.
• Demonstrate their ability to research, analyse and synthesise: - Research, analyse, use different sources of information and materials related to biomedical sciences, format them to draw up a summarised document, produced and broadcast them on digital media. - Carry out a study, identify and raise an issue in a predefined context, build and develop an argument, interpret the data and results, develop an overview, and propose extensions. - Question themselves, think critically, debate, and defend their ideas.
• Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge
• Make a presentation illustrating arguments adapted to the object, the circumstances and the public: speak in public
• Master scientific English: - Present scientific results, orally and in writing. - Answer scientific questions in English

UE's Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, the students will be able to  :

- explain the concepts of risk assessment and Health impact studies

- describe the different parts constituting a health impact study

- research in the literature the appropriate data to assess the risk associated with the exposure of the environment and humans to a toxic substance

- identify the most appropriate source to derive a a Reference Toxicology Dose

UE Content

1. Basic steps of the risk assessment ( characterization of the site, identification of hasards, dose-response relationship, evaluaiotn of exposures, risk characterization)
