Identifying diatom regulatory long noncoding (lnc)RNAs for increased biomass production for biorefinery applications
Diatoms are very promising organisms for biofuel production since they can produce high quantities of lipids when nutrient depleted. We hypothesize that diatom lncRNAs expressed under nutrient stress are likely to be major players in the pathways regulating energy and biomass production which is supported by preliminary data.
Safe, Adaptive, and Provable Protocols for Oblivious Robots Operation
Networks of mobile sensors are able to execute collectively various complex tasks. A characteristic feature is the extreme dynamism of their structure, content, load, and even execution environment. Obtaining certified guarantees on they behaviour is a crucial issue, as informal reasoning in that context possibly leads to disastrous errors when arguments are not perfectly clear.
Effect of non-nutritive sweeteners on vascular function: deciphering the role of the T1R sweet-taste receptors

Suppression of virulence and antibiotic resistance in pathogenic Cocci by lasso peptides and engineered variants
The number of infections caused by multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria is alarmingly increasing around the world. Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium and Staphylococcus aureus are the main pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria causing serious nosocomial infections. We have identified two promising lasso peptides for combating these resistant pathogens.
Regulatory impact of transposon-derived genomic sequences on immune cell differentiation and function
Our goal is to decipher how genomic sequences derived from ancestral viruses have been co-opteed to shape the response on immune cells to environmental signals.
Computational analysis of the response of immune repertoires to viruses
RESP-REP aims to turn the power of high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing into useful medical diagnosis tools, by predicting the immune function and specificity of lymphocyte receptors sequences.

Measuring and mapping the plant virus richness at the ecosystem scale
Emergent diseases of plants, a high proportion of which are caused by phytoviruses, are a significant burden on the food security and economic stability of societies. However, no studies have provided a comprehensive view of the geographical distribution of phytovirus diversity to date, including both the numbers or richness of virus species and the evenness of their distribution in any individual environment on Earth.
COmoros & maYotte: vOlcanism, TEctonics and Seismicity
To understand the unprecedented telluric event of the Mayotte seismo-volcanic crisis, it appears essential to reach a critical level of knowledge on the evolution of the seismic, volcanic and geodetic deformation, but also on the geodynamic context, including the kinematics and the characterization of the lithospheric and crustal structures, including both short and long-term and regional and local scales. The results would allow to assess better the volcanic and seismic hazards of the area.
Physics of sap ascent: Mechanisms and biomimetics
The present project aims at understanding the physics of the most important network on earth for living animals: the hydraulic network conducting sap towards the leaves, which results in efficient photosynthesis and oxygen production released in the atmosphere. Here we propose to explore the rupture of this hydraulic network after cavitation periods, during strong hydric stress, which are expected to occur in a context of global climate change with more severe drought.
