Use of lactic acid bacteria for the control of the level of ochratoxin A in coffee beans.
Green coffee beans are contaminated by molds of the genus Aspergillus, an ochratoxin (OTA) producer. Cereals, wine and coffee are the foods that contribute the most to OTA human ingestion: respectivel
Use of dried blood spot for clinical mass spectrometry analysis
The analysis of blood spotted and dried on a matrix (i.e. "Dried Blood Spot" or DBS) (Guthrie, 1963) has been used since the 1960s in clinical chemistry; mostly for neonatal screening (Clague & Thomas
Usability Evaluation of Health Technologies / Medical Devices
Poor usability of Medical Devices is a cause of use-errors that may ultimately lead to patient harm and even death. The European regulation requires that threatening risks related to usability-induced use-errors are identified and controlled to go to CE marking.The standards harmonized to this essential requirement requires a final usability evaluation, namely «usability validation« (or usability summative evaluation).
Urban Resilience and crisis management in a context of slow-onset flood. Development of tools to help critical technical network management: application to the Grand Paris
The RGC4 project adresses the Axes 9.3 of challenge 9 of the call for generic ANR 2015: Risk and crisis management regardless of its origin and resilience. Cities’ functions rely a little more every d
Unraveling the properties, regulation and role of AMPAR intracellular transport in synaptic plasticity
Plasticity and AMPAR Intracellular Transport
Unraveling the Cross-Talk between Chromatin and Protein Homeostasis Combining Coevolution and High-throughput Interfaces Perturbations for Structural Biology.
Protein complexes are at the heart of most biological functions. The CHIPSeT project aims at a deeper understanding of interaction surfaces and will integrate large-scale experimental and computational strategies to disentangle the complexity underlying protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks.
Unlocking the potential of Cepheids as primary distance calibrators
Cepheids are the backbone of the extragalactic distance ladder thanks to their tight period-luminosity (PL) relation. Through an innovative combination of state-of-the-art observations and modeling with the results from the Gaia mission, we are assembling a comprehensive understanding of the pulsation and close environment of Cepheids (companions, circumstellar envelopes).
University Technology Transfer & its Optimization
Though it is often assumed that university-generated knowledge contributes to innovation and thus to long-term economic growth, the social mechanisms and policies which ultimately favor academic inventions and achieve their transfer to the economy are still to be uncovered. Thanks to the creation of a nation-wide database, the project analyzes new dimensions of academic knowledge and technologies production and their transfer to the economy, with a special focus on the impact of science policy.
