Honeybee holobiont responses to environmental perturbations, especially to invasive bioagressors – holoBEEont
The honeybee Apis mellifera is an emblematic species of ecosystemic and economical importance that has experienced massive colony losses worldwide. The HOLOBEEONT project aims at improving our understanding of honeybee responses to their abiotic environment and to bioagressors, from a holobiont pers

Carbonucleotides as anti-Malarial agents – CARMA
Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) is responsible for the most lethal form of malaria, which is a major health threat in tropical and subtropical countries. In 2021, the World Health Organization estimated the number of malaria deaths at 619,000 and 247 million cases of malaria worldwide, the latter having
InSectIcideS used for vector control and health in the context of HIV – A long-term mother-child cohort in Mozambique – ISIS
Malaria is highly prevalent in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) leading to a huge burden in terms to childhood mortality and morbidity. The estimated number of malaria deaths was at 619 000 in 2021. Insecticides are largely used for vector control, including indoor residual praying (IRS).
The formation of single-parent families through medically assisted procreation and gamete donation in France – MumSolo

Within hospitals, reproductive medicine and biology services have since seen a sharp increase in the requests they receive. Half of these come from women wishi
More realistic Parameterizations of Upper ocean Mixing Processes – PUMP
Equatorial regions, known for their vigorous air-sea coupled processes, exert a global influence on the Earth's climate. Cold tongue regions in the eastern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans constitute the main ocean heat uptake, the main oceanic source of carbon to the atmosphere and a site with significa
Patrimonialization of prisons and scientific mediation in Europe – PatCaM
The prison system has been criticised from its inception. Since the 2000s, it has been increasingly the focus of recurrent criticism for overcrowding, indignity of detention conditions, inadequate material and human resources. While the use of prison confinement remains central to French and Europea
Deciphering the role of Polyamines, key metabolites in virulence of P. aeruginosa and its interaction with S. aureus – POPS
The POPS project aims to elucidate the role of polyamines in bacterial virulence, focusing on the pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) and Staphylococcus aureus (Sa). These bacteria are responsible for acute and chronic respiratory infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and ar
Upcycling of Plastic Blends via Reactive Extrusion – UpCycle
Plastics are light, tough, durable, and their processing energetically less demanding than most other raw materials. Yet, the current economy of plastics is far from being sustainable, with only 8.3% of the 391 million tons of plastics produced worldwide in 2021 coming from post-consumer recycled po
ImportanCe of inflammasOmes in eMerging Environmental Toxin-driven patHologies – COMETH-
The profound changes that global warming is bringing about in the environment include not only the emergence of pathogens, but also various environmental threats, such as marine toxins, which implies the need to determine to what extend our organisms, can adapt to these changes. Specifically, the al
