Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
Some experimental strategies, based on a well-defined system, and that gave rise to major breakthroughs in cellular and molecular biology are exposed and discussed. The key experiments will are detailed. Students (in small groups) further elaborate experimental strategies for specific problems:
-first, the teacher proposes selected problems in the field of molecular and cellular biology and provides the students with useful informations to elaborate an experimental strategy;
-the students propose experimental models and approaches that need to be validated by the teacher;
-these experimental approaches are tested and the results obtained are analysed and discussed in the light of published work.
-finally, the students present the result of their work to their colleagues and teachers.
Content
This workshop is devoted to train students to work together on scientific projects.
-it learns how to define precisely a scientific question and to collect the appropriate informations;
-it leads to elaborate and the validate a logical (and chronological) experimental program;
-it forms to the critical discussion of experimental results and to their presentation to other students and teachers.
Other information
Prerequisite : basic knowledges in biochemistry, cell biology, cell physiology, molecular biology and genetics. This course can be completed by methodological courses (e.g. SBIM2111 : Méthodologie de biologie cellulaire et moléculaire), and other courses of cell biology (e.g. BICL3245 : Questions spéciales de biologie cellulaire) and molecular biology (e.g. DBCM3001 : Tutorat en biologie moléculaire).
Assessment : the elaboration of the experimental approach, the analysis of the results and their critical discussion are evaluated.
