Virtual Reality for Training Doctors to Break Bad News – ACORFORMed
This project aims at exploring the question of multimodal natural language interaction, its theoretical [...] training doctor to break bad news. The goal of the project is twofold: - theoretical: thanks to a semantically [...] experienced in such work, and they bring to the project, as a starting point, a corpus of 30 hours of such
Host cell targets of bacterial infections: combining systems biology and mechanistic approaches – HostTarget
Identification and characterization of host targets of bacterial infections for the developement of new anti-infective treatments
Multiscale Modeling of bioMolecular Machines – M4
We aim at developing advanced simulation schemes for investigating complex biomolecular systems whose functioning involves transient protein-protein interactions and large-scale conformational flexibility. To this end, we want to integrate experimental/bioinformatic information with molecular simulations at various scales. Method development will be coupled with the study of intriguing biomolecular systems in collaboration with experimental partner.
Organic Photochromic Dyes for Photovoltaic Applications: Towards New Solar Cells with Self-Adjustable Optical Transmission – ODYCE
This project aims at designing and synthesizing photochromic dyes suitable for the sensitization of wide [...] energy conversion. The principal objective of the project is to demonstrate that new families of photochromic [...] buildings. The solar cells envisioned in this project could be highly transparent in the visible range
Labour market responses to taxes: a structural approach – Structtax
The project aims at a comprehensive understanding of the effects of taxation and social security contributions on the labor market. To this end, it develops a structural model designed for the study of the changes in the structure of employment and wages induced by tax reforms. The model highlights the equilibrium effects through which these tax reforms affect all stakeholders, beyond the employees directly affected.
Inhibition of platelet Protease Nexin-1 as a promising anti-bleeding strategy in haemophilia – ISPAHAN
outstanding knowledge of the main subjects of the project: platelets, PN-1 & Haemophilia. The team from U1148 [...] platelets. The promising preliminary data of the project strongly suggest that neutralizing PN-1 in platelets [...] anti-PN-1 therapy as a novel haemophilia therapy. The project fulfils the objectives of the “OH-Risque” program
Rethinking Land-Ocean Connectivity - An Integrated Approach to Understanding the Effects of Groundwater on Coastal Ecosystems – medLOC
The coastal zone hosts some of the most dynamic, diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. These ecosystems experience significant pressure from human activities, and respond drastically to direct and indirect human disturbance and to climatic-hydrologic variability. The ecological ‘footprint’ of groundwater on hydrology, productivity and functioning of coastal ecosystems along the world’s shores is far less well understood, and remains virtually un-studied along most of the world’s shores.
Interpreting continental Break-up from Surface Observations – InterRift
Rifting of continental lithosphere is a fundamental process that controls the evolution of continents and the birth of ocean basins. Despite the fundamental place of rifts in our planet's geology and their economic importance, there remains first-order questions: What are the key parameters that govern successful versus failed rifting? To what extent is rifting due to the anomalous structure below, such as a mantle plume, or a passive response to far field plate-tectonic forces?
Methane Efficient and Selective Oxydation Using Hemicryptophane Catalysts – MEUH
The aim of the MEUH project is to achieve the direct and selective oxidation of methane to methanol using
Deciphering and modifying the rules of epigenetic regulation in chromatin – EPIGENEREG
from a limited number of key features. In the project proposed here, we set out to develop such a framework
