Doctoral schools

The Complexité du Vivant doctoral school covers fundamental aspects of biology and promotes integrative research projects in various fields such as genetics, genomics, cell and developmental biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and evolutionary biology.

With over 150 research teams comprising more than 500 researchers and faculty members, the doctoral school provides an environment rich in transdisciplinary collaboration, with renowned institutes such as the Institut Curie, the Institut Pasteur, and the École Normale Supérieure de Paris, as well as sites such as the Institut de Biologie Paris Seine and the Institut de Myologie at the Pitié-Salpétrière.

The Médicament Toxicologie, Chimie et Imagerie doctoral school provides a dynamic multidisciplinary environment for doctoral students, covering a wide range of fields from chemistry to biology and health. It aims to enhance the skills of students and prepare them to address complex issues related to biomedical and therapeutic research.

With world-renowned research teams, it offers high-level training ranging from living chemistry to bioinformatics, from biomaterials to medical imaging. This multidisciplinary approach is essential for addressing current health challenges, from disease analysis to treatment development and diagnosis. The doctoral school hosts approximately 220 doctoral students, forming a community committed to researching innovative solutions for health.

The Pierre Louis of Public Health focuses its research on epidemiology and biomedical information sciences. In epidemiology, it explores infectious diseases, perinatology, clinical aspects, genetics, social factors, and healthcare services. In biomedical information sciences, it emphasises modeling, biostatistics, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and health economics.

Collaborating with Sorbonne University, Université Paris Cité, IRD, and the Institut Pasteur, it contributes to the excellence of public health research, also being a member of the EHESP doctoral network.

The Science des Sociétés doctoral school is the result of the merger of two doctoral schools and is located in two places, at the Sorbonne and on the Paris Rive Gauche campus. It offers a dynamic multidisciplinary environment, bringing together disciplines such as anthropology, architecture, economics, geography, history & civilisations, political philosophy, and sociology.

With approximately 300 doctoral students working in sixteen diverse laboratories, it encourages interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. The doctoral school is characterised by critical research, integrating social, environmental, and political dimensions. Organised into two departments, it fosters exchanges between researchers and provides a conducive environment for the development of doctoral research activities.
