Green Innovation: Creativity, Risk and Social context – GrICRiS
The purpose of green innovation is to generate – with limited natural and energy resources – durable products with lower energy consumption and/or improved environmental quality. Green innovation can be pro-active, when it is guided by the cognitive traits of individuals and societies. GrICRiS wan
Data-based engineering science and technology of polymers and filled polymers – Data-BEST
Data-driven science and technology for polymer and reinforced polymer engineering is a research program that aims at data-driven modeling of complex fluids. Polymers and their formulations are so-called complex materials, whose predictability is in some cases limited despite significant computationa
COMETary dust ORigin – COMETOR
Comets provide unique information on the matter present in the cold outer parts of the protoplanetary disk, and that escape planetary accretion. Insights on cometary matter has been obtained from space missions, but the analyses were restricted to remote in situ analyses (Giotto, Vega, Rosetta missi
Testing the Ménage à Trois Hypothesis – MATHTEST
The project aims to test the involvement of intracellular Chlamydiales pathogens in the cyanobacterial symbiosis which led to the evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotes. We therefore studied their specific involvement in three metabolic pathways and their importance in the structuring of plant genom
uORF-mediated post-transcriptional control of stem cell niche activity in plants – ReinitiaTOR
In plants, TOR promote translation of uORF-containing mRNAs, but mechanism and protein factors are not well known. Thus, our task was to identify new players in reinitiation, TOR upstream effectors that can impact translation reinitiation efficiency. Another aim of the project was to study the role
Deciphering tolerance breakdown in a human B-cell mediated autoimmune disease – Autoimmuni-B
(1) Does the reappearance of autoantibodies during disease relapses originate from the residual memory B cells that have survived the B cell depleting treatment, or do they come from newly formed naïve B cells? (2) At what step of B cell development does the tolerance breakdown against platelet ant
Dynamic folding and assembly of DNA Origamis: isothermal nanomachines powered by light – DYOR
DNA origami is a technique to program the folding of a DNA molecule into a desired shape. This method is remarkably precise, but leads to static structures. The main objective of this project is to make origami dynamic and to use them as new isothermal nanomachines controllable by light. To do so, w
Catalysts with Metal-Ligand Cooperation for Sustainable Energy – CatEngy
The objective of this fundamental research project is to develop new and efficient homogeneous organometallic catalysts with metal-ligand cooperation for challenging transformations targeting sustainable sources of energy. Lately, Partner 1 prepared unprecedented robust air-stable tethered oxocycloh
At the edges of kinship : origins and new family configurations – ORIGINES
The research carried out in this program aims to shed a new light on the issues raised by the future of adoption, the conditions for the use of assisted reproductive technologies, the legal framework for surrogacy and the use of biogenetic knowledge. The goal is to renew the study of contemporary ki
A MULTIdisciplinary approach to decipher the first step of aroma MIXture perception. – MULTIMIX
The conceptual approach of this project intends to acquire fundamental knowledge on aroma mixture homogeneous percept. A percept is heterogeneous when the specific odor quality of each aroma compound taken separately can be identified. Conversely, a percept is homogeneous when a single odor is disce
