One dimensional spin-quantum transport in molecular wires – MQwires
Current industrially exploited technologies for the fabrication of nanoscale devices and further improvements of new kind of consumer electronics are based on the down-scaling of conventional semi-con
Spatially encoded NMR spectroscopy of organic reactions – SENSOR
Monitoring strategies are essential to characterise, understand and eventually control chemical reactions. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an unrivalled tool for the structural analys
Understanding and Controlling the Molybdenum Cofactor Reactivity in Enzymes and Maquette Proteins – MOLYERE
Molybdenum and tungsten enzymes are present in most living organisms where they catalyze a wide diversity of reactions. They play essential roles in many metabolic processes of carbon, nitrogen, sulfu
Coordination Complexes to Explore the Recognition of Phospholipids and to Develop a Membrane-active Probe – COCERP
Development of a robust and low-cost test for the identification of membrane microvesicles (MVs) bio-markers of cardiovascular risk. The method is based on the selective recognition of phosphatidylserine (PS) present on the surface of the MVs by coordination complexes. The enumeration and complete characterization of MVs for early diagnosis will allow for more efficient management of patients.
On the quest of a biological compass: magnetic field effects on the cryptochrome protein – BIOMAGNET
Certain migratory animals orient during their long-distance migrations by perceiving the terrestrial magnetic field. The exact molecular origin of such sense is still unknown. Recently, the cryptochro
Electro-Catalytic Oxidation of PoLyols into Aldehyde/ketone derivatives as New chemical platforms – ECO-PLAN
The ECO-PLAN project aims at developing an eco-efficient process for the synthesis of bio sourced surfactants having applications in the domains of detergent, personal care or pharmaceutics. To reach
Artificial Enzymes in the World of Organic Synthesis – ARTENOSYN
Towards environmentally friendly new catalytic processes
Merging Enantioselective Organocascades and Superacid Chemistry: Mechanistic Investigations and New Synthetic Opportunities for Medium-Sized Heterocycles – OrgaSup
The enantioselective synthesis of aza,oxa-bridged bicyclic derivatives is realized by an organocatalytic domino sequence and their reactivity under superacidic conditions is studied for both synthetic and mechanistic purposes.
Origin, mutations and dynamics in Southeastern Arabia oases: Soil/water availability and management for the last 5 millennia – OASIWAT
The project OASIWAT aims to understand the social and environmental factors that have contributed to the development, mutation and durability of oases in Southeast Arabia since the 3rd mil. BC until t
A Corpus-based Macro-Syntactic Study of Naija (Nigerian Pidgin) – NaijaSynCor
NaijaSynCor takes an exhaustive and in-depth look at the structure of Naija (Common Nigerian Pidgin) in Nigeria today. Spoken by educated Nigerians, it has been proved by Deuber (2005) to develop in Lagos as a discrete language, separate from Nigerian English. This study proposes to assess whether this holds true for the rest of Nigeria where Naija is spoken by over 75 million speakers. It examines diachronic, diatopic, diaphasic, diastratic, and genre variation.
