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.
    • Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
    • Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
  • Master communication techniques.
    • Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
  • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
    • Aquire new knowledge independently.
    • Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
    • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy to evolve in new contexts.
  • Apply scientific methodology.
    • Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.
    • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the different spectroscopic techniques allowing the structural and functional characterization of biological molecules.
 

Content of UE

The course will deal with the different spectroscopic techniques allowing the structural and functional characterization of organic molecules, with a particular emphasis on biological molecules. The treated techniques will be : UV-Visible spectroscopy (as well as fluorescence and phosphorescence), Infra-Red spectroscopy (and Raman spectroscopy), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1D and 2D), and mass spectrometry.
 

Prior Experience

Good knowledge of the structural and functional properties of the biological molecules.
