Laser Beam and dissimilar materials welding – FLAMme
Today, the search for new design allowing to insure a new function, or to lighten a structure, is of the highest importance and leads often to the association of various materials. Because the mechani
Rheolgy and Adhesion for Medical Applications Laboratory – LERAM
The adhesion on biological tissue is complex if we link at the function of the strength the different functions as comfort (follow deformation of the skin, pump the sweat or exudates, no pain during r
Demonstrated Quality and Reliability in Surgery – CQFD
What is the Delivered Medical Benefit of a device expected to improve the results of a surgical procedure? Could the answer to this question inspire the choice of the information displayed to the surg
Humanized Liver in Rat – HuLiver
<br />Mass-production of human hepatocytes is at the heart of an economic challenge for biotechnology and biomedical research. Studies on animal models are misleading because the expression levels and substrate specificity of liver enzymes are often different from their human counterparts. Hepatocytes isolated from human livers represent the gold standard in vitro cell model but the source of human tissue is limited. In addition, isolated human hepatocytes do not longer poliferate in culture. <br /><br /><br /><br />
Molecular technologies for hybrid folded architectures – COFFIT
Chemists have developed a variety of synthetic oligomers “foldamers” that adopt folded conformations. Foldamers offer new opportunities for molecular design but are not amenable to the powerful directed evolution techniques that have been developed for biopolymers, which allow the rapid emergence of function in peptidic or nucleotidic aptamer backbones. This project intends to alleviate these limitations by combining foldamer chemical synthesis with in vitro translation technologies.
Molecular Engineering and Controlled Assembly of Nano Objects built on porphyrins – MECANO
This project aimed to provide new tools for the elaboration of functional molecular devices built on porphyrins. In Nature, porphyrins collect photons, convert light into electrons that are transported and finally used in chemical reactions. The nature of the metal inside the porphyrin core dictates the molecule's function, which varies from single porphyrin electrocatalysis when the metal is electroactive to multi-porphyrin energy and electron transfer when the metal is electro-inactive (Zn,Mg
African Food, Agriculture, Land and Natural Resource Dynamics, in the context of global agro-food-energy system changes – AFGROLAND
Changes to the global agro-food-energy system (e.g. changing consumption patterns in the North (SNF, 2012), Europe’s Climate and biofuel policies, etc.) over the past few years have led to a renewed i
Delivering Food Security on Limited Land – DEVIL
We will examine the challenge of delivering food security now and in the future on limited area, which will entail examining feedback interactions between land use change and food security dynamics. W
