Our ecosystem

The MarMaRa institute has 2 faculties (university training entities) with around 150 master’s students on specialisations attached to our institute and 4 partner doctoral schools in our scope, with around 50 PhD students per year completing their theses within our research teams. 

Our training initiatives

The Marseille institute for rare diseases (MarMaRa) proposes a series of initiatives for master’s and PhD students at the Institute: laboratory internships for master’s students (call for master’s internship projects), research training support (call for research year projects), funding of PhD students (call for end-of-thesis projects) and a doctoral training programme, among others. At international level, we are developing close ties with the CIVIS alliance, European civic university and, in particular, the Mediterranean basin.

Cécile Beust
M2 Bioinformatics student / Awardee of a Master 2022 internship grant

I did my Master 2 bioinformatics internship at the Marseille Medical Genetics Center (MMG) in the Systems Biomedicine team. During this internship, we focused on diseases associated with a premature aging phenotype. We were able to highlight various molecular processes disrupted during premature aging, such as DNA repair, the cell cycle and cell-to-cell communication.
