Mediterranean thermohaline circulation sensitivity: lessens from the past for future – MEDSENS
Climate projections for the 21st century indicate the risk of slowing down the thermohaline circulation in the Mediterranean with a potential socio-economic impact. However, the results of the simulations do not fully converge. We can improve our knowledge of the sensitivity of the Mediterranean circulation by studying the response to the past strong perturbation.
Medical Diagnostic by Artificial Intelligence applied to LIBS Elemental Microscopy – dIAg-EM
The overall goal of the DIAg-EM project is to use laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) elemental-microscopy with artificial intelligence processing to identify, localize and quantify pathogen elements present in selected human lung biopsies. We are proposing to develop a deep learning method able to perform, in real time, a non-supervised elemental identification, and to generate quantitative results over large areas of complex human specimens.

Mechanisms of intestinal immune response initiation in Peyer's patches – PHAGOMIC
Many emerging pathologies arise from a loss of symbiosis with the microbiota. Dissecting host-microbiota relationship in the gut is therefore critical to define new therapeutic approaches. However, the role of Peyer’s patches (PP), the main immune inductive sites of the gut, in shaping this relationship remains elusive. This project studies the role of the interaction between microbiota and PP phagocytes in intestinal immunity.
Mechanisms of Cell Wall Mechanosensation for the Regulation of Cell Growth – CellWallSense
This project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of mechanosesation (force sensing) in the cell wall of fungi, and to understand how it contributes to the growth and mechanical integrity of the cell.

Measuring and mapping the plant virus richness at the ecosystem scale – PHYTOVIRUS
Emergent diseases of plants, a high proportion of which are caused by phytoviruses, are a significant burden on the food security and economic stability of societies. However, no studies have provided a comprehensive view of the geographical distribution of phytovirus diversity to date, including both the numbers or richness of virus species and the evenness of their distribution in any individual environment on Earth.
