When diversity becomes a problem : processes of ‘othering’ and building bridges

Professionals in the field of development will undoubtedly be confronted with cultural differences that can be difficult to manage on a professional and an emotional level. However only too often differences are understood from the sole angle of culture and ethnicity, underestimating the impact of power assymmetry. This course will therefore start with a critique of Huntington’s concepts of a clash of civilisations as an analytical framework to understand tensions and conflicts on a national and international level. After some field experiences in Grenoble, the class will critically analyse the idea of the incompatibility of cultures and will explore alternative frames of references drawing on the literature on race, class, gender and intersectionality.

Analytical and spectroscopic methods / Méthodes d’analyse et spectroscopies

The goal of this course is to give chemists a solid theoretical (through lectures) and practical (through tutorials) background and know how in chemical analysis. Building on previous introductory classes of the first three years, the course will more specifically study the diverse approaches for the purification and separation by chromatography on the one hand, and, on the other hand, on the methods used to characterize chemical samples by mass spectrometry and atomic absorption, optical spectroscopies (infrared, Raman, UV-visible, fluorescence, X-ray diffraction) and magnetic spectroscopies (NMR and EPR). The spectroscopic approaches will be developed for structural studies of isolated molecules in solution or in the solid state. Techniques used to characterize intermolecular interaction and molecular reactivity of organic, inorganic or polymer materials will also be investigated. —————————————————————- Le but de cet enseignement est de donner à tout chimiste des compétences théoriques (cours) et pratiques (travaux dirigés) dans l’analyse chimique au sens large. En s’appuyant sur les bases de licence, seront étudiés plus particulièrement les diverses méthodes de purification et de séparation par chromatographie, d’une part, et d’autre part les méthodes de caractérisation par les spectrométries de masse et d’absorption atomique, les spectroscopies optiques (infra-rouge, Raman, UV-visible, fluorescence, diffraction des rayons X) et magnétiques (RMN et RPE). Les approches spectroscopiques seront développées pour l’étude structurale de molécules isolées en solution ou à l’état solide. S’y ajouteront les techniques permettant de caractériser et quantifier les interactions intermoléculaires et la réactivité de molécules organiques, inorganiques ou de polymères. Ce cours sera dispensé en français et en anglais.

Bionorganic chemistry

This teaching module focuses on the main principles used in bioinorganic chemistry: i) to understand and mimic the metal binding sites naturally found in biological systems, and ii) to anticipate potential interactions of toxic metals or metal-based drugs in living organisms. A first part will be dedicated to the behavior of metal complexes in biologically-relevant conditions. We will present the main analytical and spectroscopic tools useful to decipher the nature of the metal complexes both in abiotic compounds and proteins. In a second part, important metal active sites (on the catalytic, therapeutic and biological points of view) will be described in details. The last part deals with the concept of bioinspired chemistry. We will see how bioinorganic chemists design complexes that are able to mimic natural systems.

Epigenetics and cell differentiation

Course outline Today, the term “epigenetics” is used to describe the study of heritable changes in genome function that occur without a change in DNA sequence. This includes the way gene expression is passed from one cell to its progeny, how gene expression changes during the differentiation of one cell type into another, and how environmental factors can change the way genes are expressed. Epigenetic regulation involves changes of chromatin structure. Interestingly, the mechanisms involved in epigenetic regulation, such as histone modifications, also participate in the transient changes of gene expression. This course is therefore opened to all students with an interest in the control of gene expression. There are far-reaching implications of epigenetic research for plant and human biology and disease. The different mechanisms involved in epigenetic regulation, and the different contexts involving epigenetic regulation will be presented: – actors involved in epigenetic regulation (role of histone modification, chromatin remodeling complex, histone variants, DNA methylation, small and long noncoding RNA), – contexts involving an epigenetic regulation (response to cell environment, cell differentiation, development) – implication in diseases.

Immunity against cancers and infectious diseases

Immune responses against cancers occur and erase most of the developing tumors. Unfortunately, some cancers escape the spontaneous immune responses we are mounting to become a clinical challenge. Lectures will be devoted to detail what is currently tested in tumor immunotherapy to control or cure developing tumors. A parallel with immunological responses against infectious agents will be made. Conferences will be given by researchers originating from Grenoble but also outside (Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Dijon) to expose enrolled students to Immunology researches performed nationwide. All these researchers are susceptible to host Master 2 students during their internship. The particularity of this UE resides in the fact that some lectures are mutualized via videoconferences with the Master of Immunology from Paris V, VI, and VII. The mid-term evaluation will consist in the presentation of a selected conference by an individual student.

Molecular genetics and epigenetics

This course concerns all the students interested in gene expression across the tree of life: bacteria, lower (yeast, protozoans) and higher eukaryotes (plants, mammalian). It is complementary to the M1 course “Cell Compartmentalization and Implications in Pathology”. You will gain further knowledge on the mechanisms involved in the control of gene expression in the general context of gene regulation. The course will present the new developments for the analysis and control of gene expression. This will include in vitro and in vivo approaches that can be usedin cells and living organisms. A specific emphasis will be given to new aspects of gene regulation at a transcriptional and post-transcriptional level (RNA maturation and transport). The role of epigenetic regulation involving DNA methylation, post-translational histone modification, long and short non-coding RNA and histone variants in the control of gene expression will also be addressed. The broad range of model organisms (human, mouse, plants, yeast, bacteria…) and questions addressed in this course makes it a “must take” for those interested in evolution, development, cell differentiation, senescence, infectious diseases and pathologies such as cancer. Therefore, this course is strongly recommended as a preparation to the PHED and NN Master 2 programs.
