Chemical stimulation of the innate immune response with ChX710: Toward a new class of antiviral molecules – ChemInnate
Viral infections are a major public health problem while our therapeutic arsenal remains very limited and relies mainly on a few direct acting molecules that act on the virus replication machinery. As part of the ChemInnate project, we are exploring another therapeutic approach: broad-spectrum antivirals that, instead of targeting the virus itself, block viral growth by modulating cell defense mechanisms.
Deforming Integrable Sigma-models – DefIS
The primary goal of DefIS is to push forward the current frontier of knowledge on integrable field theories. Few field theories have the property of being integrable. Their study has nevertheless proved to be of great importance for theoretical physics. The reason is that integrability allows for the use of specific techniques in order to compute exact results. DefIS aims to construct the full landscape of integrable sigma-models and to determine its characteristics.
Rebuilding after an earthquake: ancient experiences and innovations in Pompeii – RECAP
Faced with recurrent risks, did Roman builders develop earthquake-resistant construction techniques? An international initiative, RECAP project follows a multi-disciplinary approach, calling upon the archaeology of construction, sociology, IT, structural engineering and geology, in order to determine the practicalities of reconstruction and the technological choices adopted..
Crystallisation of seeded Silicon, impact of Light Impurities and Defects – CrySaLID
Answer to the challenge of the control of the final crystalline structure (growth from seeds, orientation selection, and parasitic grains) of the defects and of light impurities: multi-scale experiments and simulations.
Algebraic and geometric domain decomposition for subsurface /groundwater flows – DEDALES
Geosciences simulations face a growing demand for increased physical fidelity. Geological storage of nuclear waste, or CO2, couples thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical phenomena. The goal of the DEDALES project is to contribute to the mathematical methods, and the computing techniques, required to make those simulations feasible on the next generation of supercomputers.
Employment, Housing, Transport Infrastructure: Social Implications, Mobility and Environment – ELITISME
Impact of within family negotiation on mobility choices
Linguistic analysis, intercultural aspects of sapiential utterances and their transmission from East to West and from West to East – ALIENTO
Aliento participates in two major areas of research: paremiology and digital humanities. Its starting point is the Iberian Middle Ages (al-Andalus), where several sapiential traditions (the adab (9th century), from the East, rabbinic and latin literatures) coexist and mix.
Making invisible powers present in the Himalayas – présencedesprits
This program of primary anthropological research aims to contribute to the renewal of our understanding of possession in general (including shamanism) through 1) the study of the various ways in which invisible powers are made present, including their many material representations (artefacts, ritual language, natural events) and 2) the comparative study of these through their variations and transformations in Himalayan societies.
New Religiosities in Turkey: Reenchantment in a Secularized Muslim Country ? – NEORELIGITUR
This project intends to study the emergence and development of new religiosities in Turkey, a secularized Muslim country. Using diachronic and synchronic standpoints, it raises the question - until now not tackled by research on religions in Turkey, which is dominated by studies on Islam (Sunnism, Alevism) and Sufism -, - of religious reconfigurations, of their forms and registers, and of their historical complexity.
