The Master Interactions immunitaires et ingénierie cellulaire trains students in research on immune interactions and cell engineering. It covers general immunology and, in particular, immune interactions and their modulation, biotechnologies and cell engineering tools, clinical research, scientific article analysis, and scientific English. Students choose a dominant orientation: transplantation (host–graft), cancer (host–tumor), auto-immunity (host–host), transfusion (host–labile blood product) or cell engineering, including an immunomodulation tool.
Teaching combines advanced theoretical work with compulsory laboratory or associated company internships. The program includes a common core in immune interactions and cell engineering, with options chosen at Master 1 and Master 2 level. Students validate a research-based training through internships in a laboratory public or private setting and a research project on cellular and molecular signaling, developed with adherence to good laboratory practices.
The Master I3C enables further doctoral study and can lead to research careers in the public or private sector. It also provides direct access to professions in biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, and health, with focus areas including hematology, immunology, oncology, and cell engineering. It is taught in French at the UFR des Sciences de la santé, on the Campus de la Bouloie and Campus des Hauts du Chazal in Besançon.
