Biosensors.
Multiparametric data recording on computer. Data processing and simulation of the macrosystem by physicochemical way.
Inventory of the cellular and organic macrofunctions.
Introduction to cellular and organic cybernetics.
Models of compartment analysis and simulation.
Introduction to deterministic chaos.
Nonlinear linked systems.
Dynamical Physiomatics.
Genetic matrix (mutants transgenic) and dynamical and phenotypical functional calculus.

Module M36G: Training course of one year in a research laboratory (30 c).

Training course of one year in the laboratory of Bioenergetic and photobiology (Professor R. Strasser) or in that of Biochemistry and Plant Physiology (Professor C Penel, Professor H. Greppin, Dr. R. Degli Agosti): the central topic being plant physiomatic.

The student will have to manage an experimentation comprising modelling simultaneously entering the research programs in progress. This work will give place to a bibliographical analysis and will be the subject of a report paper, publications or seminary presentation.
