In-situ forming implants for periodontitis treatment – Imperio
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium, leading to the destruction of the tooth supporting tissues and finally to tooth loss. Microorganisms in the patients’ periodontal pockets produce molecules, which directly attack the host tissue and/or cause an im
Optimized transport mechanisms of bacteriophages for the development of antibacterial coatings – MAGENTA
Adhesion of micro-organisms, in particular bacteria, plays an important role in biofilms formation and the colonization of biotic or abiotic surfaces. These biofilms can be formed on any type of surfaces, and represent important financial losses e.g. in food and water treatment industries. Moreover,
Development of a Real Time Monitoring non invasive In Vivo Mass Spectrometry System for Diagnostic: REALITY'MS – REALITY'MS
The challenge of the SpiderMass project is to develop an instrument for allowing the analysis in-vivo and in real-time in the surgical room. This is a main issue with regards to the importance of the quality of the surgery on patient’s outcome and survival. Currently, none of the existing technologi
In vivo proof of concept of molecules against hemolytic uremic syndrome – AntiHUS
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections affect hundreds of thousands of people annually in industrialized countries, including approximately 265,000 people in the United States according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 50% of people that experience Shi
In vivo and in silico production of mutants affecting photosynthetic pathways: experimental development and modeling of metabolic pathways that influence photosynthetic yields downstream of photosynthetic electron transfer in green algae. – ChloroPaths
Photosynthetic cells exposed to excess light use metabolic pathways to dissipate reducing power towards oxidative reactions. These pathways influence the energetics of the cell and either reduce photosynthetic performance because energy is no longer used for CO2 fixation or increase energy conservat
Beyond conventional electrocatalysts: hollow metal nanocrystallites for PEMFC applications – HOLLOW
There is an urgent need to address the environmental and energy challenges that the planet is facing. The main issue at stake is the so-called global warming, which is linked to the combination of two phenomena: an increasing demand for fossil fuels in spite of their limited availability and a conco
Controlling factors and their interplay in catalytic molecular films. A key for their optimization in the pursuit of modern energy challenges. – CATMEC
To meet rising energy demand, inexpensive and carbon-neutral energy sources must be developed. Solar-driven electrochemical splitting of water to molecular hydrogen and oxygen are small molecule transformations that hold promise as routes of storing sunlight in energy-dense chemical bonds. Activat
Direct synthesis of DImethyl ether from synGAS – DIGAS
DIGAS project aims at developing a heterogeneous catalytic process for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from sustainable sources and for several energy applications. The project goes in the frames of the Challenge “Clean, safe and effective energy” for the Young Scientist competition. Sy
Molecular ENgINeering of the triplet state energy level of BipoLar organic semi-condUctors: Towards nEw molecular designs. – Men in blue
The research topic we wish to develop herein deals with novel molecular designs of host materials for high-efficiency/stability blue Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diodes (PhOLEDs). Indeed, in order to reduce the energy consummation, new efficient sources of low-energy white light are require
Reconfigurable transmitarrays for beam steering and beam forming at millimetre waves – TRANSMIL
TRANSMIL is a fundamental research project aiming at making major innovations in modeling, design and demonstration of electronically-reconfigurable transmitarrays (TAs) with beam-steering and beam-forming capabilities at millimeter-wave frequencies (Ka band). It fits in the thematic frame “Société
