The M4R Master’s program (Repair, Replace, Regenerate, Reprogram) is an international training programme dedicated to
new therapeutic strategies and the development of innovative health products in 4R medicine. The program is supported by two high-level research laboratories: RMeS and TarGET.
These approaches aim to replace, repair, regenerate, or reprogram cells, tissues, or organs in order to restore their biological functions. They include
regenerative medicine (tissue engineering products, cell therapies, and gene therapies),
biotechnologies (biopharmaceuticals), and
medical devices.
By nature interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary, the M4R master’s programme integrates cell biology, molecular biology, gene therapy, biomaterials science, chemistry, physics, and pharmaceutical formulation.
Over the two-year program, students can tailor their training toward clinical research, experimental research, or omics data analysis.
Experimental Research : Designed for students who wish to pursue careers in academic research or biomedical research in industry.
- Develops key skills in scientific methodology, experimental approaches, and critical data analysis in life and health sciences
- Emphasizes experimental design, laboratory techniques, and rigorous interpretation of scientific results
Clinical Research : Designed for students who want to translate today’s knowledge into tomorrow’s therapies.
- Develops skills required to understand pathophysiological mechanisms, design and conduct clinical studies, and evaluate new treatments or medical devices
- Emphasizes clinical trial methodology, clinical data analysis, and health regulations
Omics Data Research and Analysis : Designed for students interested in bioinformatics and omics data analysis.
- Develops expertise in exploring complex relationships between genes, proteins, metabolites, and other biomolecules
- Focuses on multidimensional approaches, advanced computational tools, and integrative interpretation of omics data
