Bridging receptors and microtubules in the control of plant growth – MICROBRIDGE
Directional cell growth is a critical determinant in plant developmental processes, together with cell division and differentiation. Plant hormones, a group of endogenous bioactive small molecules, ar
Cytoplasm fluidization by bulk actin rearrangements for organelle positioning – CytoActinPos
The regulation and function of bulk cytoplasm mechanics remain poorly understood. The cytoplasm is thought to be highly viscous (typically 1000X more than water) and also elastic, like a soft gel. The
Study of SHP2-driven myelomonocytic lineage defects and contribution in age-related diseases – MeSSAGE
This project aims to decipher how myelomonocytic lineage defects drives Noonan syndrome (NS) clinical traits. The latter being reminiscent of age-related disorders, this study will unravel new determi
Shaping cells: The role of the external forces and constraints – ForcesOnCell
Epithelial cell shape depends on an internal balance between the actomyosin cytoskeleton, the Adherens Junctions and the Focal Adhesions. How these internal cell shape effectors are impacted by compre
Cavity-mediated long-range interactions for multiparticle entanglement and quantum simulation – CLIMAQS
Photon-mediated interactions between atoms coupled to an optical cavity are emerging as a powerful tool for engineering many-body Hamiltonians and entangled states. In our project, theorists and exper
Strong coupling QED of mesoscopic point contacts – StrongQEDmpc
Quantum electrodynamics (QED), describing all the low energy physics around us, captures the interaction of matter (electrons) and the electromagnetic field (photons). In vacuum the coupling between e
Nutrition and physical activity against age-related neurodegeneration in a primate – NUTRIACT
Since the industrial revolution, the level of physical activity drastically declined while the amount of ingested calories increased and those of essential omega-3 fatty acids (w3) decreased. Physical
Organic/Silicon 3-terminal Tandem Solar Cells – ORGANIST
The ORGANIc Silicon Tandem (ORGANIST) develops a new concept of hybrid Organic/Silicon tandem solar cells. This project is particularly innovative and is built on recent progress in PV research: (i)
Interferences in Design Methodology for High-performance Multi-Core Platforms – InterMCore
When a system is safety-critical, a certification activity must evaluate whether it is compliant with the appropriate standards in that domain. In the avionic and automotive domains, targeted by Inter
Behaviour of frozen soils from micro to macro: new insights, database and numerical techniques – REFROZEN
In this project we will investigate the behaviour of frozen soils, both natural and artificially frozen, from the micro-scale at particle level to macro-scale in case studies. The project will use th
