The track “Biophotonics and Neurotechnology” is part of the Light Sciences and Technologies Graduate Program at the University of Bordeaux (https://light-st.u-bordeaux.fr), which offers a multidisciplinary training program on the development and uses of advanced optical technology and techniques to address complex biological problems within the context of neuroscience and cancer biology.

The academic program is composed of core and specialized lecture courses, practicum courses, and internships in top-ranked research laboratories and core facilities equipped with state-of-the-arts technology and microscopes, and ancilliary infrastructure needed for modern research. The courses and practicals are run by leading research faculty and staff, who take great pride and interest in teaching and forming the next generation of biophotonics experts.  

The program is run entirely in English and the students will study and work in the highly international, collaborative and diverse research community of Bordeaux Neurocampus (https://www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr/en/).

Moreover, the program offers financial support to all enrolled students (in the form of excellence fellowships and paid internships) and a variety of career opportunities (workshops, summer schools and research stays in France, Europe and abroad).
