Operads, Calculus and Homotopy theory methods in Topology – OCHoTop
In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to the elaboration and computation of topological invariants in the setting of rational homotopy theory, which provides information about the homotopy of spaces modulo torsion. Indeed, research in operad theory has led, as a notable outcome,to a
Emergent Orders of Spinor BECs in a Multimode Ring Resonator – EOSBECMR
The two initial scientific objectives of the EOSBECMR project were the demonstration of a truly emergent system in a traveling wave cavity, and the realization of a quantum network of Bose Einstein condensates, exploiting atoms trapped in the high order modes of the same cavity and coupled by long-r
High Optical Resolution for Unlabelled Samples – HORUS
Three-dimensional optical microscopy is an invaluable tool in many fields, particularly in biology, thanks to its unique properties for imaging living specimens. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made with the development of structured illumination techniques, PALM / STORM, and STED. How
Towards Ligand-Induced Fluorescent Proteins – InducedFluo
The InducedFluo proposal focuses on modeling, with tailored hybrid theoretical tools, processes related to excited-states in ligand embedded biological systems. In the new and very promising area of ligand-induced fluorescence protein, we aim to be the pioneer computational group to fully explore th
The SPIRou Planet Search for Habitable worlds – SPlaSH
The objective of the SPlaSH project is to exploit the part of the SPIRor Legacy Survey dedicated to the search and characterization of extrasolar planets around M dwarfs. SPIRou, the new near-infrared spectropolarimeter and velocimeter installed at the CFH Telescope, is designed to be a world leader
Pristine — A survey of the first Galactic stars – Pristine
The most metal-poor stars (less than a thousandth of the Sun's abundance in iron) are also the oldest stars as they are expected to have formed within the first 2 billion years of the age of the universe. However, they are also very rare (less than one star in a thousand) et exceedingly hard to isol
Vector Boson Scattering as an indirect probe of new physics – VBStime
A more general theory than the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics should exist to describe various phenomena unexplained in SM. Direct searches for New Physics (NP) have been unsuccessful until now. The project VBStime propose to indirectly probe NP through the study of vector boson scattering
Dissecting Type Four Pili in Action – T4PNanoAction
This project will allow for the first time to characterize with high precision the dynamics of the T4P machinery in action. The methods developed will be broadly applicable to other biological systems. Since the T4P machinery is highly involved in the virulence of numerous bacterial pathogens, the o
Molecular mechanism of transcription by influenza virus polymerase – FluTranscript
The overall goal of FluTranscript is to provide a detailed and integrated mechanistic description of viral transcription in vitro and in the cellular context. To achieve this ambitious goal, the Cusack and Naffakh groups will combine their highly complementary expertise in structural biology and mol
Treatment of breast milk by high-pressure processing increases its biological and intestinotropic properties: experimental and clinical studies in preterm newborns. – HHP-humanmilk
1 / to determine if the HHP process improves the quality of LM in terms of very sensitive bioactive factors (growth factors, hormones, microRNAs and bacteriostatic factors) compared to Holder pasteurization; 2 / to study whether this treatment of LM increases its intestino-trophic properties in an e
