One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases
Laureate of the call for expressions of interest “Future skills and professions 2022” – financed by the “France 2030” investment plan – the Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases (1H-EID) aims to create a complete training programme specifically dedicated to (re)emerging infectious diseases.
Presentation
The Graduate of One Health Emerging Infectious Diseases offers a multidisciplinary educational programme of excellence, based on research. The aim is to create a community of scientists and health professionals, but also decision-makers sharing: the same vocabulary, networks and comprehension of health, societal and economic challenges that the emerging infectious diseases represent. This Graduate School of One Health Emerging Infectious Diseases involves the Faculties of Health, of Sciences, and of Societies and Humanities of Université Paris Cité, as well as the Institut physique du globe de Paris. The Institut Pasteur, the National Veterinary School of Alfort (EnvA) and Sorbonne University also participate in this project.
Early detection and preparation to epidemics of emerging infectious diseases are essential to the reactive implementation of effective measures to reduce their impact. An educational programme of excellence in the field of (re)emerging pathogens is the key to raise the major challenges that future generations will face.
Current educational programmes on emerging infectious diseases are very divided between the different fields, blocking the implementation of a real approach of “One Health”. The Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases offers a multidisciplinary vision on global health with an Emerging Infectious Diseases Master course (MIE), a PhD programme and continuing education. Students from different and diverse backgrounds – medicine, pharmacy, science, veterinary and engineering schools – follow a transdisciplinary programme which offers an education in in the biology of emerging pathogens, epidemiology, veterinary science, ecology, evolutionary biology and socio-anthropology.

SMARTS-UP Graduate Schools mobility scholarships
The Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases is pleased to announce the availability of competitive mobility scholarships for students as part of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Master’s program in emerging infectious diseases. These scholarships are designed to facilitate student mobility both internationally and between overseas locations and France.
Meetings
Anvita BHARGAVA interviewed Dr. Anthony FAUCI on behalf of the Graduate School of One Health – Emerging Infectious Diseases and Institut Pasteur. Dr. Anthony FAUCI addresses critical questions about the training future scientists should receive to tackle the next pandemic. He emphasises the importance of collaboration between different disciplines and the value of partnerships between academia and industry. In addition, he highlights the need to train scientists regarding socio-economic challenges and effective communication with the general public. The end goal is to guide decision-makers towards optimal public health outcomes.
Masters
Within Master Molecular and Cellular Biology (BMC), a course is open in Master 1 and 2 in September 2023
In Master 1, the Emerging Infectious Diseases (MIE) course includes – in addition to existing courses in molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, virology and microbiology – new classes in computational biology, ecology and “One Health”. Internships in emerging infectious diseases are organised in laboratories associated with the Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases.
For students in the field of health, Introductory Research Courses (PIR) in the area of infectious diseases or public health is propose: “Resistance and adaptation of microorganisms to anti-infectives”, “Evolutions: main mechanisms – biological and medical approaches” and a new course “Emerging infectious diseases”.
Information webinar regarding the MIE course for the M1 :
- Wednesday, March 6th 2024 at 17:00 CET
- Free participation without pre-registration
- The webinar can be accessed here
Meeting ID: 832 8664 0278
Code : 712505
In Master 2 Molecular and Cellular Biology – Emerging Infectious Diseases courses (MIE), students have a common module “One Health, an interdisciplinary approach” then one of the following majors can be chosen: biology of emerging pathogens or epidemiology and biostatistics. The course is completed either with the other major or with one of these three minors – Human-Animal-Environment Interface, Evolutionary Dynamics or Human and Social Sciences – and by additional modules of their choice (“From the Field”, innovation, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, ecology, circulation of infectious agents and risk control, antibiotic resistance, infection modelling, surveillance or global health, etc.).
Customised Master 2 internships highly encouraging multidisciplinarity – two internships, interface project, internship and tutored project – rely on the diversity of the laboratories of excellence affiliated to the Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases, offering a unique environment to combine fundamental and translational research in: virology, microbiology, epidemiology and modelling, social sciences
