I'm a lecturer in Paris-Sud / Paris-Saclay University involved in different teaching units
L1 - 1st year undergraduate
- Projet Professionnel
Many students arriving at the University do not have clear career plans or clear ideas of their future job. In this teaching unit, we help them defining the job they'd like to do later. They learn where / how to find information about academic paths, and practicals details about their potential future job.
L2 - 2nd year undergraduate (Biology)
- Genetics, Molecular Biology and bioinformatics
- Lab internship
In this course, the student will learn the basics replication and transcription, as well as how they are controlled in the cell. They will also learn basic genetics, both in bacteria and eucaryotes. This course is composed of lectures, tutorials and practicals. I'm involved in the tutorials and the practicals.
2nd year undergraduate student have the opportunity to do a two-months rotation in lab. At the end, they write a report and have a short defense to present their internship and their results. I'm involved in the marking of the reports and defense.
L3 - 3rd year undergraduate (Life Sciences and health)
- Practical in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
This is a two-weeks practicals, centered around the beta-galactosidase. The student will both clone
M1 - 1st year postgraduate (Life Sciences and health)
- Core course
- Yeast Molecular Biology practical
- Epigenetics
- Lab internship
In this course, the student will acquire detailed knowledge in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Genetics / Molecular Biology. I'm only involved in the latter (a few tutorials).
This course is a two-weeks practicals. It focuses on stress adaptation in yeast, using two mutants as experimental models. This students will learn how to obtain/characterize mutants, test their response to thermal stress, make use of a gene rapporter system, do a western-blot and some sub-cellular microscopy.
This course will deepen the notions of epigenetic mechanisms and trans-generational transmission of epigenetic information. I'm involved in the lecture on X-chromosome inactivation and the study of 3D-genome organization, as well as in a few tutorials (X-chromosome inactivation, 4C-seq/Hi-C and prion properties)
1st year postgraduate students have the opportunity to do a few-months rotation in lab. At the end, they write a report and have a short defense to present their internship and their results. I'm involved in the marking of the reports and defense.
M2 - 2nd year postgraduate (Genetics, Genome and Evolution)
- ncRNAs and epigenetics
This course consists in a series of conferences around ncRNA and epigenetics mechanisms, mostly by researcher of the Paris area. Active learning sessions are set-up the day before to lay the groundwork for upcoming conferences.
