Sustainable RECovery of vALuable metaLs in bauxite residue – RECALL
With a predicted world population of over 9 billion people in 2050, the demand for raw materials is growing fast. In this context, the European Commission has identified a number of materials and sectors facing specific challenges. Among them, access to certain raw materials (including critical meta
From health crisis to political crisis? A study on the politicization processes in France hit by the Covid-19 epidemic – COVIPOL
Based on electoral sociology’s well-established finding that occupation is one of the most predictive statistical variables of voting behavior, we will study these politicization processes by observing them in a reasoned variety of occupational settings (n = 10). The investigation, planned over a pe
Early identification of risk associated with drugs used in COVID-19: analysis of global pharmacovigilance data – Vigi-Drugs COVID-19
This project aims to investigate and characterise early the major adverse drug reactions of drugs used and/or approved for the treatment of patients with Covid19. The analyses are based on the WHO global pharmacovigilance database: VigiBase® containing more than 27 million adverse drug reactions,
Understanding social dynamics in Europe during the pandemic – DYNPANDEMIC

In this perspective, the objective of our project is to study social dynamics during the pandemic in Europe. In parti
Genetic and infectious factors shaping population variation in human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 – COVID-19-POPCELL
The present proposal aims to characterize the variability of the human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, the agent of the recent world pandemic of COVID-19, at the cellular and population levels. Indeed, increasing epidemiological evidence indicates that populations from different ethnic background p
Involvement of circulating fibrocytes in pathophysiology and prognosis of COVID-19 pneumonia – FIBROCO
We hypothesized that circulating fibrocytes could be a valuable biomarker during COVID-19 pneumonia. We aimed to determine the involvement of fibrocytes during COVID-19 pneumonia, and to determine if fibrocytes could be associated with prognosis. We included 57 patients in the Hospitalized group (me
