This training program is available to students from partner universities.
Learn, explore, and innovate at the frontier of biomedical research and biotechnology.
The BIOSANTEXC consortium (Biosciences and Health Excellence) is one of the four pillars of the Franco-Indian Campus in Life Sciences for Health.
It brings together world-class institutions - ENS Lyon, ENS-PSL, ENS Paris-Saclay, ENS Rennes, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata, IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Tirupati, IISER Thiruvananthapuram, and the NCCS - to build an international environment for training, research, and innovation in the life sciences.
BIOSANTEXC’s mission is simple yet ambitious: to nurture a new generation of scientists, innovators, and leaders capable of tackling tomorrow’s global health challenges through collaborative, interdisciplinary learning.
Advanced Training in Life Sciences and Health
BIOSANTEXC offers a wide range of training opportunities designed for Master’s students, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers who wish to gain hands-on experience in advanced bioscience and biomedical research.
These programs include:
Workshops and thematic schools in cutting-edge fields such as infectious diseases, neurobiology, molecular genetics, and structural biology;
Laboratory internships in leading French and Indian research institutes;
Joint supervision and mobility programs that encourage binational mentoring and research collaboration;
Short-term and long-term training fellowships to strengthen research and professional skills.
Each activity is designed to promote a deep understanding of both fundamental and translational research, connecting the lab bench to clinical and societal applications.
An International Learning Journey
Through BIOSANTEXC, students experience an immersive academic journey between France and India.
They participate in joint workshops, summer and winter schools, and exchange programs that foster not only scientific excellence but also intercultural dialogue and cooperation.
By engaging directly with researchers from both countries, students gain access to a binational research ecosystem at the forefront of biomedical science.
Career Development and Opportunities
BIOSANTEXC trainings prepare students for international research careers in academia, biotechnology, and healthcare innovation.
Participants develop:
Strong experimental and analytical skills;
Experience in multidisciplinary teamwork;
A global research network that connects them to leading scientists and laboratories.
Many BIOSANTEXC alumni pursue PhD studies in top institutions or take on roles in biotech industries, research centres, and health-oriented startups.
A Community of Excellence
Beyond technical training, BIOSANTEXC promotes a shared scientific culture of collaboration, creativity, and ethical responsibility.
It is a vibrant community where students and researchers learn from one another and contribute to a common vision — advancing science for better health.
