Exosomes from stem cells for the treatment of radiological burns – EXOCET
Acute high dose irradiation accidents occur every year worldwide, either resulting from the loss of radioactive sources or from over-irradiation following radiotherapies or interventional radiology procedures. In addition, the risk of a terrorist attack has also been seriously considered for recent
Absorbent falling film with free-surface instabilities: exploration – FRAISE
FRAISE project intends to optimize energy conversion through falling-film absorption processes. Its main technological outcome is the development of innovative concepts for the design of efficient desorbers, which represents the bottleneck for the conception of new compact absorption machines adapt
Polymer-Assisted Synthesis of Sulphide CATAlysts for hydrotreatment reactions – PASSCATA
Worldwide growth of the global mobility of people and merchandises, along with industrial activity have resulted in a severe increase in airborne pollutants concentration in the last decades. The production of cleaner fuels used for on-road and off-road transportations has been imposed to refiners a
Advanced eco-compatible mRNA vaccines for induction of protective immune responses in farmed fish – Fish-RNAvax
Infectious diseases in fish farming cost about 20% of the production value. In the context of ever expanding aquaculture industry, which already outgrows wild fish capture and is forecasted to double by 2050, disease prevention by vaccination has become crucial to reduce the aquaculture burden on t
BIOcompatible and BIOfunctional porous electrodes for miniaturized enzymatic biofuel cells – BIO3
The objective of our work is to design a fully integrated, extremely miniaturized and perfectly biocompatible glucose/O2 biofuel cell (BFC) as an in-vivo source of electricity that may power for example, a subcutaneously implanted, continuous glucose monitor for diabetes management. However, nume
In-situ measurement of thermal resistance of building envelopes – RESBATI
The measuring equipment developed within the framework of project RESBATI will involve changes of practice of the professionals of the building guaranteeing a satisfactory thermal performance of the opaque walls. It will contribute to the lawful transition from an obligation of means to a warranty o
Crowd Control: from control theory to applications to road traffic – CroCo
In recent years, the study of collective behavior of a crowd of autonomous agents has drawn a great interest from scientific communities, e.g. in civil engineering (for emergency egress and traffic problems), robotics (coordination of robots), computer science and sociology (social networks), and bi
New HDL-Cholesterol therapies for cardiovascular diseases – HDL-NEXT-THERAPEUTICS
Despite considerable progresses in their prevention and treatment, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the most frequent cause of death worldwide (31% of deaths, WHO data) and are also one of the leading causes of long term sickness and loss to the labor market. Current preventive and therapeutic m
Uranium production by in situ recovery – ISR-U
In situ recovery is today the first mining extraction technique worldwide for uranium production. The technique has numerous advantages, including low production costs and a limited footprint on the surface. However, the exploitation is complicated by the large spatial variability of the concerned o
Mobile Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells – MobiDiC
Sodium borohydride is a fuel of high-energy density, easier to store and transport than gaseous hydrogen. Its oxidation in a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) would lead to an electrochemical generator capable to compete (or even overwhelm) lithium batteries in terms of energy density and therefor
