Despite almost a century of academic investigations and technological developments, quantum physics still firmly holds to its counter-intuitive postulates. Surprisingly amid this wealth of experimenta
Digital Heritage – Patrimoine Numérique
This “Digital Heritage” call is designed to generate new, research-based knowledge to promote the sustainable use and management of cultural heritage and so to contribute to the development on the soc
Using volcanic CO2 vents to assess coral reefs ability to acclimatize and adapt to ocean acidification and warming
(This abstract include the main point of the ERC project SELECTION; the abstract of the new ERC project I intend to present in 2018 is not ready and will change according to results obtained in the pr
Multiplexed diagnostics of microRNA using ultra-sensitive homogeneous FRET detection
The amplify project aims at the development and application of a new diagnostic tool for faster and better detection of microRNA (miRNA) cancer biomarkers. The technology will combine ultra-high sensi
Damageless Etching Processes
Etching processes are one basic step required to fabricate integrated circuits used in almost any electronic device. The improvement of circuits’ performance relies on the reduction of the thickness a
COntrol and Modelling for sOft RObots in Surgery
Surgical procedures are often carried out using instruments made of stiff materials that interact with delicate biological tissues such as internal organs, blood vessel walls and small cavities. This
Genetic basis of genotype-by-genotype specificity in a natural insect vector-virus interaction
Dengue viruses and their main mosquito vector Aedes aegypti are responsible for the most rapidly advancing, globally dominant vector-borne viral disease of humans. Similar to many other invertebrate h
Asymmetric spindle positioning in nematodes: from comparative biophysics to evolutionary cell biology
The cell is a level of biological organisation that has been poorly explored from an evolutionary perspective because basic cell functions (e.g. cell division) show remarkable conservation across phyl
From elusive non-Kekulé species to bottle-able functional molecular bricks
The discoveries of stable versions of elusive intermediates are historic landmarks, which have had deep impacts on modern organic chemistry, and beyond. Stable carbenes and radicals are typical exampl
Photonic Foams: Micro-bubbles encapsulated by plasmonic nanoparticle shells with controlled rheological and optical properties
The "PhoFo" project is a multi-disciplinary, multi-scale, research effort with the objective to design, create and characterize novel functional fluids (liquid foams, and micro-bubbles dispersions), m
