Seasonal detection of Sarbecoviruses in bats from North Vietnam – SO-VIET-BAT
studying bats sampled between April and October 2021 in several caves in North Vietnam. This karst region
Involvement of circulating fibrocytes in pathophysiology and prognosis of COVID-19 pneumonia – FIBROCO
High circulating levels of fibrocytes are correlated to an unfavourable outcome during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. COVID-19 pneumonia shares common histological and inflammatory features with ARDS. We aimed to determine the involvement of circulating fibrocytes during the course of COVID-19 pneumonia, and to assess if fibrocytes could be a prognosis biomarker.
From health crisis to political crisis? A study on the politicization processes in France hit by the Covid-19 epidemic – COVIPOL
How is the health, economic and social crisis caused by Covid-19 affecting citizens' political attitudes and their relationship to voting and democracy?<br />This project aims at providing a better understanding of how crises change political attitudes, through an analysis of politicization processes related to the current health crisis. It starts from the central assumption that work is a main space of socialization to politics.

Early Identification of Drug Risk in COVID-19: Analysis of Global Pharmacovigilance Data
Genetic and infectious factors shaping population variation in human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 – COVID-19-POPCELL
The homeostatic immunological dialogue requires a constant balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. Under normal circumstances, this balance is maintained by tightly regulated networks of signaling cascades and cytokine-mediated cell-cell interactions. However, there is increasing evidence to suggest that such immune equilibrium state differs among individuals and populations.

Design and evaluation of Covid screening strategies in various contexts based on empirical contact data – Coscreen
COSCREEN addresses the urgent and crucial need to design, validate and optimize new strategies of repeated testing and screening in contexts such as schools, offices, universities. We will design detailed realistic numerical simulations of the spread of COVID-19 that take into account the whole complexity of contacts between individuals by leveraging empirical high-resolution contact data. This will provide realistic scenarios and optimized policies for use by policy makers.
Epidemic of Covid-19: Study of the Impact and the Profiles at Risk of Suicide among Students – ECLIPSE
Students ‘vulnerability to mental health problems is now certain, and the health crisis context of the COVID-19 epidemic may have further weakened this situation. While there is uncertainty about suicide risk in this period, it is likely that suicide risk will become a more pressing concern as the pandemic continues and has longer-term effects on fragile groups such as students.
Entrepreneurial fear of failure in times of the Covid-19 crisis: Antecedents, dimensions and consequences – A focus on entrepreneurs in the hotel, restaurant, bar and fitness industries – COVENTFOF
Small businesses in B2C industries have been particularly affected, specifically those that are “store-based” and can no longer welcome customers into their stores due to administrative closures, lockdowns, curfews and subsequent hygiene constraints. The small businesses that today are either closed or in real difficulty are mainly hotels, restaurants, bars and fitness centers. All these businesses are very important to the French economy in terms of dynamism, sales, employment, etc.
Pronostic value of type I ANTi-Interferon antibodies in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory failure: a multicenter observational study – ANTICOV
SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to a broad spectrum of symptoms with a large inter-individual variability. Impaired interferon (IFN) type I response seems to be involved in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) neutralizing type I IFN-a2 and IFN-? were found in 10% of severe COVID-19 cases . Dertermining whether auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs are associated with outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID-19 could lead to specific therapeutic interventions.
