Why should I become an e-health and biotechnologies engineer?
This programme trains engineers capable of analyzing the needs linked to the development of products or various processes linked to life sciences and to control technical challenges. This goal is achieved by the acquisition of transversal knowledge and skills in the field of life sciences, acquisition, processing and management of data in health.
Becoming an e-health and biotechnologies engineer allows you to participate in the digital health revolution, to work in a complex and multicultural ecosystem, in a restricted framework, where the normative, legal and ethical aspects are primordial.
The e-health and biotechnologies course is certified by Medicen, the health competitiveness cluster for the Ile-de-France region.
