Multiscale Operando Structural chAracterization of vanadium phosphate Industrial Catalysts – MOSAIC
A fundamental work is dedicated to the global and local structural order characterization of the different phases present in the industrial catalyst. We would like to elucidate the probable dynamic effects which may be present in different phases constitutive of the active catalyst and influence the reactivity of the material in the operating conditions. For that purpose, a combination of multiscale X-ray scattering experiments and solid state NMR analysis in Operando conditions is developed.
Synthesis and characterization of MAX phases single crystals – MAXICRYST
single crystals. The main goal of the present project is to remove the technological barrier limiting [...] demonstrated by several authors. In the present project we aim to develop and adapt crystal growth techniques [...] crystals obtained during the first stage of the project will be characterized with the aim of acquiring
Mechanics of Tissues: multi-scale structural approach of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – METIS
The METIS project is dedicated to the study of the biomechanics of connective tissues. Soft connective [...] with atrophic scarring. The rationale of this project is to understand the link between the microstructure [...] characterized biologically during the course of our project. To evaluate changes in the biomechanical properties
MAgnetic inteRactions at Mercury between the InTerior and the Exosphere – MARMITE
The work conducted during this project relied on the analysis of measurements from the MESSENGER probe (NASA), in orbit between 2011 and 2015. We were able to 1/ describe Mercury's magnetic environment (from the dynamo field to interactions with the solar wind), and 2/ design and test different tools to extrapolate models, add additional constraints and parameters, and better prepare the observations of the BepiColombo mission.
CArbon and Microwaves-based Ultrasensitive gas Sensors – CAMUS
& Microwaves-based Ultrasensitive Gas Sensors) project is proposed by a consortium of four labs with [...] Singapore UMI 3288 CNRS-NTU-Thales. In this project, we propose the realization of a platform for microwave [...] different chemical vapors selective targets. This project consists of three main parts: 1. Design modeling
Three dimensional microscopy of ocular tissues using full-field OCT: application to transplantation of tissues and cells for eye diseases – MicroEye
The MicroEye project aims to transfer full-field OCT to ophthalmology practice. This breakthrough technology enables nondestructive histology, and is expected to improve clinical processes including graft and bioengineered tissue evaluation, and analysis of surgically extracted tissues.<br />
Therapeutic potential of AMPK activators for correction of mitochondrial fatty acid ß-oxidation disorders. – THERABETAOX

In line with this, our project aims at investigating if AMPK activators could [...] Cells: Control or patient fibroblasts. This project will benefit of the large cells repository and
ISLET CHIP: Quality Control of Islets for Transplantation – ISLET CHIP
Destruction of pancreatic beta-cells leads to absolute insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes and concerns some 15 to 30 million patients.Transplantation represents one therapeutic choice in patients with serious progressive complications of diabetes. Currently no method has been established to test and evaluate the quality of the islets and their preparation within the short time span (few hours) prior to their transplantation.
Fractioning the phenotype of the biology of the visual Conscious networks. – Phenotypes
Nothing defines the functioning of the brain better that the nature of its inputs and outputs. Our ANR assesses whether we all having the same visual conscious networks through the measure of the brain connectivity (part 1) and whether differences in connectivity can characterize a better recovery after a brain damage (part2).
