The BMIC Doctoral School
PRESENTATION OF THE BMIC DS
The Integrative Molecular and Cell Biology Doctoral School (BMIC DS) encompasses a wide field of research in the biological sciences. It groups together about a hundred research teams working towards a better understanding of biological processes, from the regulation of gene expression to an integrative vision of phenomena.
What makes the BMIC DS original is its concern to integrate biological mechanisms into functional problems, and to confront normal and pathological situations as much as possible. Furthermore, thanks to the large number of professors with accreditation to supervise research working in its laboratories, it can guarantee high quality supervision for each of its doctoral students.
The BMIC Doctoral School is one of 4 doctoral schools of Biology out of the 17 doctoral schools of the Université de Lyon. It benefits from the scientific resources and networks of the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, to which it is affiliated, as well as the ENS Lyon associated with the doctoral school project.
