Pharmacological suppression of cerebral cavernous malformations
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions mostly located in the central nervous system, leading to epileptic seizures and hemorrhagic stroke. The disease occurs as a sporadic and a
Assessing long term effects of invasive tree species on the protective function of forests against rockfall in Switzerland and France: the case of Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven)
Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, commonly known as tree of heaven, is a deciduous tree native to China. In the last decades it has become invasive in forests in the southern parts of the Alps. Many of these forests have a protection function against rockfall. The expansion of Ailanthus altissima in protection forests poses questions on the future development and stability of the affected forest stands and their protective capacity.
Predict to prevent frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
The project focuses on C9orf72, the most frequent genetic form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). FTLD is the second commonest cause of degenerative d
The Early POSTseismic deformation: A key process in the earthquake cycle. From observation to modeling.
Earthquake occurrence is mainly controlled by the time evolution of crustal stress. Postseismic transient processes strongly contribute to stress redistribution after an earthquake and to the generati
BTR 2014
In 2003, the French Ministry of Research expressed the need for a national initiative in nanosciences and nanotechnologies in order to increase the competitiveness of the national research community i
2014 BTR project
The BTR program with 15,000 m2 of clean room facilities distributed in seven national facilities and a task force of about 400 researchers brings a strong support to the R&D activities in micro & nano
Maritime knowledge for China Seas
With focus paid to the practical know-how available to the craftsmen, seamen and merchants from 16th to 18th centuries, and with special emphasis on sailing and trading knowledge, this project proposes a new approach for Chinese maritime history. We will carry out a large investigation that combines multidisciplinary research to better understand this technical and concrete experience within their specific temporal and geographical environment (Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Southeast Asia).
