Towards a PREcise DIagnosis in Ciliopathies – PREDICT
Ciliopathies are rare Mendelian disorders caused by dysfunction of primary cilia, sensory organelles protruding from the cell surface playing a crucial role in signal transduction during development and cell function. Clinically, ciliopathies can involve most organ systems, displaying substantial ph
semantiC segmentatiON oF compLexe soUnd scEnes oN edge deviCEs – CONFLUENCE
The CONFLUENCE project aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for sound semantic segmentation of acoustic signals that can recognize sound events and separate/isolate the signals of the sound sources forming semantic entities. This can be seen as an audio extension of the image se
Optimizing omega-3 supplementation to resolve inflammation in a personalized medicine cardiovascular disease prevention. – OmegaPerMed
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of death in Europe and world-wide. Optimizing CVD prevention is therefore of utmost importance, but personalized medicine has not yet reached clinical practice for CVD. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are traditionally considered ben
Diffusion, dynamics and solidification processes in Fe-Al-Si melts – SOLIMAT
The present proposal aims at investigating microscopic mechanisms that govern the diffusion dynamics in Fe-Al-Si melts as well as the early stages of solidification of these systems in their undercooled state. The German-French consortium set up a joint experimental and theoretical study for unders
How does greenwashing affect the stock market? – GreenLies
The goal of this project is to determine the impact of greenwashing on investors’ portfolio allocations and asset prices. Specifically, we want to develop methods to estimate the level of greenwashing used by firms. This will enable us to study which firms use greenwashing most (within which sector,
Deep learning and Deep characterization of Peptides for the control of plant nutrition – DeepPep
Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are two major nutrients sustaining food production and consequently human population development. However, N and P provision in agricultural systems have detrimental effects on ecosystems mainly because these nutrients tend to leak in the biosphere due to a deficient
The Artificial Motion Factory – ARTIFACT
Today’s robots are confined to tightly controlled environments, and even the complex choreographies that the Boston Dynamics humanoids flawlessly execute heavily rely on motion capture, handcrafted control strategies, and detailed workspace models, with little place for sensing. To put it bluntly, r
Multi-Level Decision-Making with Interactive Systems – NEUROHCI
This project is in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and aims at designing interactive systems developing user expertise by establishing a human-machine partnership. Interacting with these systems can be seen as a multi-scale decision-making problem: 1) Task, i.e choosing the right medical treatment
Cognitive Warfare Design Lab – GECKO
The concept of cognitive warfare stems from the convergence of work on the characteristics, limits and fragilities of individuals, on the one hand, and on social and cultural influences and their manipulation for war purposes, on the other. It is anchored both in a historical reflection on the e
Protein fold diversity and evolution in Archaea: from adaptation to extreme environments to the origin of eukaryotes – DArchFolds
Characterizing how environmental pressures have shaped the diversity of protein folds and functions is essential to understand the evolution of biodiversity. Proteins are molecular Legos of protein bricks whose combination dictates the protein fold and function. Is the inventory of known protein bri
