The speciality takes place within the framework
of the development of biotechnologies and
the use of renewable carbon molecules from
plants to replace the fossil carbon reserves.
The biology was for a long time a science of the discovery of what exists. On the contrary, the biotechnology implies an approach of creation, invention and innovation. This way, UTC and UPJV have created for 25 years new ways for the implementation of biological functions, to explain the behavior of living systems and to elaborate technological tools.
The rapid advance of knowledge in the field of Biology, the shorter and shorter time frame separating the scientific discovery from its industrial, agricultural or medical application, a "bioindustry" getting more focused on state-ofthe- art techniques coming from research argue in favour of such a speciality, always demonstrating even more the continuum between fundamental research and applied research.
This speciality will be bi-located, the M1 in the UPJV and the M2 in the UTC.
