MOllusc BIvalves as inDICators of contamination of water bodies by protozoan parasites. – MOBIDIC
Les indicateurs microbiologiques actuels ne renseignent pas correctement la contamination des masses d’eau par les protozoaires. De plus, la recherche des protozoaires dans l’eau est fastidieuse et conduit à une variabilité des résultats (spatiale et temporelle). MOBIDIC se propose de lever ces limites par l’utilisation de bivalves
Improving the Accuracy of the SUrface Mass balance of Antarctica – ASUMA
The ASUMA project aims to quantify the recent variations of the Surface Mass Balance (SMB) of Antarctica and their relationship with climate, atmospheric circulation and moisture origin. We will acquire data during three field trips. The overarching task of the project is the realization of a long distance traverse to collect firn cores and to perform measurements on the surface snow physics. Measurements will be compared to model outputs and remote sensing data.
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.
Next steps in Synthetic Biology: towards the generalization of genome transplantation methods – SYNBIOMOLL
SYNBIOMOLL aims at extending Synthetic Biology key technologies to Mollicutes species of interest. Because several bacterial genomes have already been cloned in yeast and the synthetic assembly of large DNA fragments is in current use, the major technological limitation is our ability to extend the genome transplantation technology to other microbial species. This project could therefore lead to a better comprehension of the biology of pathogenic bacteria and the development of new vaccines.
Bisubstrate and prodrug approaches for the rational design of new DXR nhibitors: Novel antimicrobial and antitubercular drugs – ANTITUB
Today, almost all important microbial infections throughout the world, such as tuberculosis, malaria, nosocomial diseases, are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Antimicrobial multi-drug resistance has been called one of the world's most pressing public health problems. It is therefore urgent to find innovative targets for new antimicrobial drugs.
Study and development of new anti-cancer therapeutic strategies based on immunomodulation and dendritic cells – IMOCA
The IMOCA Industrial Chair carries out intensive research in fundamental and applied immunology in order to increase the knowledge of immune responses in the context of cancer and inflammation, to design immunotherapies while training the future actors in the field. Located at the interface between the academic and industrial world, it aims to optimize a portfolio of projects with a high chance of having an applied impact.

Rheology of unsaturated granular materials – RheoGranoSat
Our project is to develop original experimental and numerical tools allowing a study of the rheological behavior of these materials, from solid regime to flow, integrating a characterization of their microstructure. The study will be carried out on a model material. These coupled studies should allow us to establish the link between microstructure and macroscopic behavior, in order to ultimately develop a complete model of macroscopic behavior of unsaturated granular materials.
Coastal Risks Knowledge: a better inside in the management and prevention of coastal risks – COCORISCO
