Multi-Modal Multi-person Low-Level Learning for Robot Interaction – ML3RI
Multi-person robot interaction in the wild (i.e. unconstrained and using only the robot's resources) is nowadays unachievable because of the lack of suitable machine perception and decision-taking models. Indeed, current robotic skills are derived from machine learning techniques working in constrained environments.

Individual muscle Coordination strategies and their role in the development of musculoskeletal disorders – COMMODE
Our primary testable hypothesis is that each individual has unique muscle coordination strategies that will have specific mechanical effects on his/her MSK system. As such, some strategies would make people more at risk of developing MSK disorders than others.

Phosphorus sequestration: contribution of magnetotactic bacteria in oxic–anoxic transition zones – PHOSTORE
The project stems from our recent demonstration that a group of magnetotactic bacteria strongly accumulate P at the oxic-anoxic interface in the water column of the ferruginous Lake Pavin (Massif Central, France; Rivas-Lamelo et al. 2017, Geochem. Persp. Lett.). These bacteria constitute a new and relevant model for studying the cycling of P by microorganisms in freshwater environments, the molecular mechanisms of P sequestration and their influence by environmental parameters.
Enantioselective Organocatalysis through Hydrogen Bond-Assisted Halogen (X) Bonding – Bond-X-Bond
Enantioselective organocatalysis has established itself as an essential tool in the modern chemists' toolbox. If the activation by Bronsted acid or bases and those by Lewis bases are well developed, this is much less the case for catalysis by Lewis acids. We therefore propose to develop new Lewis acid catalysts proceeding by halogen bond, in which an additional hydrogen bond will help control the enantioselectivity.
Metastability for nonlinear processes – METANOLIN
The project deals with questions linked to metastability for nonlinear stochastic processes: the so-called self-stabilizing diffusion (which is a McKean-Vlasov diffusion in which the law of the process intervenes in the drift through convolution), the self-interacting diffusio, (where the occupation measure intervenes in the drift) and Keller-Segel type diffusions (with space-time interaction).
An evolutionary perspective on meiotic kinetochore architecture and function in oocytes – EvoMeioForce
The overarching goals of our project are to determine how kinetochores, the attachment sites for microtubules on chromosomes, are assembled, attached, correctly oriented and put under tension in oocyte meiosis. Using two distantly related organisms, namely C. elegans and mouse, we aim to determine how characteristics of the meiotic kinetochore bring about the specific segregation patterns in meiosis.
Fundamental, genetic and clinical aspects of male infertility due to severe sperm flagellar abnormalities – FLAGEL-OME
Although multifactorial, male infertility has a strong genetic basis, which has so far not been extensively studied. Previous work permitted to characterize and publish causative mutations in 9 genes. Here, the same consortium will leverage the previously acquired expertise and tools to further investigate the molecular basis of flagellogenesis and to translate this knowledge into actionable information and strategies to improve diagnosis and care of infertile patients.
