We provide an innovative service of
vocational training applied to
biotechnologies for:


• Biologists whose initial training in molecular biology; is insufficient or
unsuited;


• People without an initial training in biological sciences and
confronted with biotechnology products or services;


Training applies to the specific needs of the professionals, including
theoretical and practical approaches.
