Viral Rhodopsins: Structure, Function and Next Generation Optogenetic Tools – Viral_Rhodopsins
Giant viruses have genomes and sizes comparable to those of some bacteria. Rhodopsin genes were identified in giant viruses which infect an algae of the Organic Lake, Antarctica. It is known that the algae is a major source of dimethyl sulfide which is known as a critical substance influencing ecolo
Modulating the gene networks underlying phenotypic robustness in plant quantitative immunity – PRobIty
Our key hypothesis is that QDR robustness emerges at the global scale from the architecture of plant and pathogen gene networks, and involves conserved genes with diverse molecular functions. The rationale behind this research is based on our preliminary results showing that regulatory changes affec
Ferroelectric control of organic/ferromagnetic spinterface – FEOrgSpin
The main objectives of the project are as following: Objective 1: Explore different kinds of ferroelectric organic materials to understand the observed FE modulation of spin-polarization; Objective 2: Engineer interface with different FM metals to study the spin polarization and magnetic anisotro
A Water mass analysis and Exploration of linkS between phytoplankton, bacteria and trace MEtals along the South West INdian GEOTRACES Section – AWESOME-SWINGS
The Southern Ocean is a major sink for anthropogenic carbon, largely controlled by the biological pump, which depends on the availability of macro- and micro-nutrients, including trace metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, Mn, Ni). Microbial processes play a key role in recycling, remineralization, and the modula
Physical Chemistry process for the synthesis of sustainable marine materials for the littoral preservation – EcoCorail
These ast years, one observe to a considerable increase of the oceanic coastal errosion, due to progressive increase of seawater and violent climate phenomenon. French coast are particularly impacted with the move backwards of sand dune and beachs and also by cliffs erosion for example. Different me
Multi-configuration density-functional theories for excited states – MCFUNEX
Time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) is the standard approach for computing electronic excitation energies. Despite its success, TD-DFT, in its usual approximate formulation, cannot treat multiconfigurational electron correlation effects adequately and it completely misses multiple elec
Cold Plasma Sterilization of Medical Devices – PLASSTER
The medical device market is experiencing growth in France and abroad. Several studies have shown that the global market for medical devices (DM) is in continuous progression. The process developed by CRITT-MDTS and INSERM Unit at the University of Reims is a real technical innovation because it is
Photonic coatings for Light Trapping in organic photovoltaic solar cells – PhotoLighT
The organic photovoltaic cells are among the 3rd generation after silicon and inorganic thin films. They are usually constituted of a stacking of thin layers with a conjugated material as active component, in which photons are absorbed. Then the photogenerated excitons are dissociated in charges tha
Assembly and operation mechanisms of flagellar apparatus of marine magnetotactic bacteria – MagneticFlAp
Our current knowledge about bacterial propeller mainly stems from the study of enterobacteria. Little is known about that of magnetic bacteria: how are these flagellar propellers constructed and how do they operate in response to magnetic stimuli? We investigate the flagellar apparatus of marine mag
Event-based VIsual SERvoing – e-VISER
When a drone (or unmanned aerial vehicle) has to operate on its environment, it is called an aerial manipulator. These robots embed a robotic arm or a gripper to allow the grasping or the transport of objects. Aerial manipulators combine the large working area capacity of drones with the dexterity a
