Building Of Ocean Surface Topography maps from SWOT – BOOST-SWOT
A large number of oceanographic applications rely on gridded maps of Sea Surface Height (SSH) and related variables such as surface currents. Such products have been for about 20 years designed by the DUACS (Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System) project, led by the Collecte Localisation
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
Biobased High Gas and Vapor Barrier Polymers for Packaging – GASP
The objective of GASP is the development of 100% biobased polylactide materials including cellulose nanostructures with designed barrier properties for oxygen, CO2, water or organic vapors. These materials are targeted on high added value applications in the packaging industry. GASP is deliberately
Sharing, use and modelisation of public data. Cycling and walking as case studies. – PUMDP
One condition for a more sustainable functioning of cities is a greater capacity to monitor and adapt the use of their resources and infrastructures. What is at stake is the continuous and dynamic adaptation of their capacities and occupancy rates and, to say it briefly, the optimal adequacy between
Matériaux Biomimétiques Hiérarchiques obtenus par Congélation – NACRE
In recent years, the design of biomimetic materials and systems has been the focus of increased attention. The properties, functions, and structures encountered in nature are increasingly appealing for non-biological applications: control of the structure at different levels, adaptation to the envir
Development of stainless steel microbial cathodes for microbial fuel cells – BioCathInox
The “Laboratoire de Génie Chimique” has made a decisive answer to the problem of the cathode. This innovation on the cathodic process could be the solution to saving MFC technology. However locks persist and scientific knowledge on fundamental processes are not yet understood. The final objective is
Time-resolved spectroelectrochemistry on 3D-mesoporous electrodes – 3D-BIOELEC
The main objective of this project concerns the development of an innovative sub-millisecond real-time spectroelectrochemical technique allowing characterization of electrodes functionalized by biomolecules. The challenge consists in the spectroscopic detection of a low amount of biomolecules with s
Preclinical development of molecular imaging antibodies targeting the ZnT8 protein for the diagnosis and follow-up of diabetes – SAFE-BETA
Diabetes results from an absolute or relative decline in pancreatic beta cell mass (BCM) leading to insufficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. In type 1 diabetes, hyperglycemia occurs when the beta cells are selectively destroyed by an autoimmune process. In type 2 diabetes, metabolic stress
Monolithic INtegration of functional Oxides on Silicon for novel micro-system devices – MINOS
The objective of this project is to integrate high quality functional (piezoelectric and ferromagnetic) oxide heterostructures on Si using SrTiO3/Si(001) templates, in order to develop a novel generic demonstrator device which is expected to validate the ability of reversible electrical modulation i
Molecular mechanism and reactivities of the complex and highly active Fe-hydrogenase from Clostridium acetobutylicum – CAFE
1) Scientific Background and objectives. Hydrogenases are the enzymes that catalyse the biological conversion between hydrogen and protons, a reaction that is of interest both from a biological and chemical viewpoint. They may be used as catalysts at the anode of bio-fuel cells, or for hydrogen prod
