OHNU - Oncology, Hematology and Nuclear Medicine - Master's level

The Oncology, Hematology and NUclear Medicine Graduate Programme is established in Nantes. It is accessible to students at master's and doctoral levels.
The programme combines three disciplines to meet the challenge of understanding, detecting and treating cancers. This requires a multi-scale (from a single cell to the whole body) and interdisciplinary approach (oncology, immunology, targeted therapies, bioinformatics analysis). Moreover, it addresses all aspects of tumour ecosystem development in different types of cancers (solid and hematological malignancies) and the specific problems of medical imaging that stimulating and mapping tumours non-invasively - a multi-scale cellular approach of multimodal full body imaging (PET-MRI, innovative radiopharmaceuticals...)
The GP approaches therapeutic challenges, including innovative therapies such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies and therapeutic nuclear medicine and theranostic approaches in multiple solid and hematological tumours.
 

Why joining the Oncology, Hematology and Nuclear Medicine Graduate Programme (OHNU)?

Our Graduate Programmes are trainings by and through elemental and translational research.
GP OHNU scientific areas:

• Immunomodulation of the tumour microenvironment and immunotherapy of cancers
• Nuclear oncology
• Signalling in oncogenesis, angiogenesis and permeability
• Adaptation to stress and tumour escape
• Integrated cancer genomics
• Chromatin and transcriptional deregulation in paediatric bone sarcoma
• Plasticity of the tumour ecosystem after radiotherapy
• Molecular vulnerabilities of tumour escape in mature Bcell malignancies
• Lymphocyte manipulation for immunotherapy

What are the career prospects ?

Immersion in research from the Master's level onwards to acquire solid practical and theoretical skills. Integration into Nantes University's Cursus Master Doctorat (CMD) programme, opening the way to a PhD and careers in academia or industry.

The OHNU programme has been awarded the Cursus Master-Doctorat / Graduate Programme label by Nantes Université. This means that the course draws on the research skills of internationally recognised laboratories, and trains students in the scientific approach and cutting-edge technologies. The skills acquired enable students to successfully enter the world of work with a Master's degree - in the R&D department of a company or in innovative SMEs, for example - or to continue their studies towards a doctorate degree.
