- Impact of precision oncology on medical practices and ethics - 6 ECTS
The objective of this teaching unit is to enable students (interns and students in biology) to forge a reflexive and critical approach to current developments in precision medicine, particularly in relation to the modifications induced for clinicians as in the organization of hospital structures, and with the ethical and societal issues that this new direction of oncology research raises.
It will thus be necessary to address epistemological themes (in particular the question of whether we are facing a paradigm shift), the reconfiguration of translational research (design of targeted therapies, reorganization of clinical trials). , the sociology of health (especially in the context of the modification of health professions and their articulation at the hospital) and ethics (patient trajectories, understanding of what is a risk factor, impact lifestyle habits, etc.).
This is to ensure that students are able to become aware of the actors involved in the research / clinical interface upstream of the constitution of research projects, and that they can subsequently collaborate so effective and ethical, taking into account the impacts induced in the different fields of health.

- Methods and ethics practices in health domain - 3 ECTS
Between the current legislation, the codes of ethics, the recommendations of good practice and the certifications issued by the High Authority of Health (HAH), we can have the impression that the field of practices of care is already well marked and we could no longer see what place it could remain for ethical questioning. And yet, once these elements of different statuses (more or less binding) are posited, everything remains to be done from an ethical point of view, in the sense that what it would be most adjusted in a given situation remains unresolved, and where these regulations themselves require constant re-interrogation. The challenge of this course is to draw the contours, the modalities and the conditions for an ethical reflection that takes into account this general context while taking root in everyday practices.
Objectives: to acquire reflexive tools to discern and think about ethical questions in concrete situations; Being able to mediate between a conceptual approach and clinical cases, and understand how reflexion feeds back from the field; Analyze the underlying issues and make accurate use of terms commonly used in contemporary health debates.

- Medicals practices : between research and clinic- 3 ECTS
The objective of this teaching unit is to give students an idea of what can be today (with the joint evolution of therapeutic innovations, medical practices, the involvement of the patient in his care and patient associations on steering committees, societal demands, etc.) to be an oncologist in connection with active research or to be a researcher in a health center. It consists of a series of interventions by researchers and clinicians in the form of feedback and experience sharing on what their professional practice is at the interface between research and clinical, with various profiles: clinicians from different groups, more or less involved in clinical trials; oncologist engaged in supportive care; researcher in translational research and / or prevention; fundamental researcher on how research objects are defined, etc. This is to make students aware of the interference between research, clinical, patient perspective and social representations in order to lead them to subsequently establish effective collaborations upstream projects.

Systemic biology aims to answer biological questions by integrating wet experiments into iterative cycles with computer modeling, simulation and theory. This is essentially an interdisciplinary approach. The objective of this teachning unit will be to provide the basics needed to adopt this approach, and a rough view of the field. It is intended to be accessible to any student in biology, with a strong desire to explore more formal approaches (mainly mathematics and computer science)
The following topics will be addressed
A general introduction to systemic biology
- Good practices in systemic biology
- Large-scale omic data to dynamic modeling
- What is a mathematical model?
- An introduction to the theory of dynamic systems
- Gene networks
- Metabolic networks
- Multi-scale modeling
- Information contained in noise: biological phenomena seen as distributions.
All courses will be illustrated with practical examples from recent literature.
