Project of animal biology, the opportunity to sensitize master's students to research approaches

Résumé

The teaching unit 'Experimental Project of Animal Biology' offers an opportunity to master's students to discover a specifie topic within the biological sciences, to sensitize them to the research approaches in a real-life working conditions and constitutes good prerequisites for students who want to start a scientific career. It is organized by teachers from Agrocampus Ouest, in collaboration with researchers from INRA and takes place mainly in the research !ab of INRA. lt allows students to understand the multi-scale (from in vivo experiments to the study of organs and cells in the !ab) and multidisciplinary approaches that are necessary in physiological studies, including the combined use ofcomputational methodologies, molecular and cel! biology, immunology and microscopy. lt is organized around a research problematic in the field of the regulation of cellular dynamics of the udder in dairy ruminants. During the first day, the research problematic is introduced by supervisors. Students have to perform a literature research and should also consider the appropriate methodologies to carry out the research. After a validation by the supervisors, students are divided into 4 groups, each being in charge of a part of scientific and technological approach. Then, they realize the experiments (3-4 d), the critical analysis oftheir results and they compare the results obtained between the groups. At the end ofthe teaching unit, they present the results to the supervisors and colleagues from the research unit and propose perspectives. The evaluation focuses on the ability to have a scientific approach, to fi nd the information needed to solve a problem, to propose solutions cons istent with a set of constra int, to carry out the experiments, to work in groups and share the results with colleagues and supervisors and finally to c learly state the obtained results clearly (oral and written project reports).
