Graphene Liquid Crystals – GAELIC
Wet chemical methods provide easily graphene-based nanomaterials from a cheap source (such as graphite). The project is focused on the design of liquid crystal phases of graphene, graphene-related materials (graphenides, graphene oxides, reduced grahene oxides) and nanoparticles/graphene composites. The structural and rheological properties of these liquid crystals will be used to tune the deposit of thin films and control their properties.
The cellular basis of cardiac development and regeneration revealed by live imaging – liveheart
will be that it will allow for the quantitative features observed in vivo to be challenged using in silico
Catalytic sieving of ATC gamma-peptide foldamers – CatFold
recognition elements bring by foldamers. One central feature will be to systematically explore the connection
Chondrite Recipe from Accretion Disk modeling and Laboratory Experiments – CRADLE
CRADLE (Chondrite Recipe from Accretion Disk modeling and Laboratory Experiments) consists in an original approach associating the development of numerical simulations modeling the physical, chemical and isotopic evolution of the protosolar disk with new observations of the isotopic compositions of primitive meteorites. These observations give access to the irradiation intensity, to the ages of the first solids formed in the disk and to their residence time in the gas.
Optical Pinning of Molecules for the Study of Glass Transition – COMET
depend on this concentration. Pinning unveils features otherwise not accessible in usual glasses, constrained
Controlling Open Quantum Systems: A challenge for future quantum technologies – COQS
idea of the proposal is to use this particular feature in the context of coherent control, i.e. to answer
The role of spatio-temporal nano-organization in regulating the specificity of JAK/STAT signaling – NANOSTAT
We propose that signaling specificity of interferon receptors (IFN-R) is regulated by nano-compartmentation at the plasma membrane and in endosomes. We study the type I (alpha/beta) and type II (gamma) IFNRs as a paradigm, as both activate STAT1 phosphorylation, albeit via distinct mechanisms. We hypothesize that IFNRs localization into distinct plasma membrane nano-compartments and spatiotemporal regulation of endosomal trafficking control the mechanistics of JAK/STAT signaling.
Asymmetric copolymers: neither block nor random – ASYMCOPO
The ASYMCOPO project aims to classify asymmetric copolymers - polymers that are neither pure block copolymers nor random copolymers, but fall somewhere between the two. To do so, we are generating a libraries of asymmetric copolymers and linear gradient copolymers. These copolymers will be characterized in terms of their ability to self assemble in solution or stabilize interfaces. Their properties will be compared in order to determine what are the essential features of an asymmetric copolymer.
