Reconstructing regional BuRnt Areas from microcharcoal preserved In marine SEdiments – BRAISE
The future evolution of fire activity remains highly uncertain, as fire is a complex process to model. It is necessary to evaluate the performance of fire models outside of current climatic conditions. Records of paleofires from marine sedimentary archives offer this possibility. However, comparisons between models and data remain limited, as there are not yet common units between these two types of data.
Recovery or cell death in stress-exposed bacteria – NOVOREP
The project has the ambition to fully characterize, from signal to cellular responses, a novel bacterial stress response mechanism in which two proteins, a metalloprotease and a transcriptional regulator, control expression of known and yet unknown genes, leading to either cell survival or apoptotic- like death.
Redox modulation of rhodium-catalyzed nitrene insertions into C(sp3)-H bonds – CHamRhOx
We plan to design new dirhodium(II) complexes in order to develop a more efficient and subsequently enantioselective intermolecular amination of C(sp3)-H bonds in the context of sustainable chemistry. Our approach will be based on a mechanistic study from the point of view of the design of the catalysts, and the influence of the electronic properties of the ligands on their efficiency, selectivity and stability.
Redox regulation of plant HDAC activity in response to climate change – REPHARE
Whether and how histone deacetylase activity is regulated by redox during plant response to high temperature
Regulating digital economy’s environmental pollution – DIGIPOLL
In 2021, the digital economy appears more than ever a wealth of opportunities for economic agents. However
Regulation of ribosome activity by rRNA 2'-O-methylation: Toward rRNA epitranscriptomic control of translation – ActiMeth
Decipher the variable elements of the ribosome contributing to regulation of translation.
Regulatory networks governing craniofacial muscle diversity – MyoHead
Craniofacial malformations are among the most common human birth defects and have multiple etiologies that affect diverse tissues. The underlying genetic, developmental and clinical causes of these malformations are largely unknown. Therefore we aim to identify all of the cell types that give rise to craniofacial structures and the molecular regulators that lead to the establishment and morphogenesis of the various cell lineages in the head.
Relationship to nature and gender equality. A contribution to critical theory from feminist practice and mobilisation in agroecology in Brazil – GENgiBRe
The GENgiBRe project analyses the construction of the relationship to nature from a gender, class and race perspective in two rural regions of Brazil that are subject to socio-environmental conflicts. It starts from the experience of women farmers in contact with the agroecological movement, which it situates in gender and other power relations,in socio-environmental conflicts and in the process of neoliberalisation of nature led by the current Brazilian government.
Relaxation processes induced by VUV photoexcitation in astrophysical media – PRIMA
The relaxation of molecular species following photoexcitation in the vacuum ultraviolet is very complex and constitutes a key step in the photochemical networks of astrophysical environments. Experimental data recorded in the laboratory concerning this relaxation are essential to understand the evolution of these environments.
