viruses to cure: the difficult development of a counter-intuitive biomedical innovation – anthropo-phages
This project aims to conduct interdisciplinary reflection on the therapeutic use of bacteriophage viruses (or phages) to treat human bacterial infections. Faced with the rise of antibiotic-resistant b

uORF-mediated post-transcriptional control of stem cell niche activity in plants – ReinitiaTOR
Growth and regeneration in all organisms depends on a proper balance between stem cell division and differentiation. Despite extensive study of the transcriptional and epigenetic networks that control
thermoDynamics in Cavity Quantum ElectrodynamIcs – Qu-DICE
Since the XIXth century, classical thermodynamics has developed the conceptual and practical tools to harness thermal noise, turning it into a resource. Heat engines efficiently convert heat produced
shallow hydroThermal sOurces of trace elemeNts: potential impacts on biological productivity and the bioloGicAl carbon pump – TONGA
The Western Tropical South Pacific (WTSP) Ocean has recently been identified as a hotspot of N2 fixation and harbors among the highest rates reported in the global ocean. N2-fixing organisms have high
regulation of DenItrificatiOn by Root Exudates – DIORE
The nitrogen fertilizer used for crop production is partially emitted as N2O, a gas having about 300 times more impact on global warming than CO2. N2O is generated during microbial nitrification and

miRNAs and networks of co-expressed genes associated with childhood trauma: from molecular scars to drug discovery in bipolar disorders – CT-ScarBip
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a frequent, severe and burdensome psychiatric disorder. The severity of BD mainly relies on the risk of mood recurrences that are major providers of suicidal risk, hospitalizations, cognitive decline and psychosocial consequences. Predicting mood recurrences is thus a challenge for targeting patients who would require a more intense care plan (patient stratification) and moving towards personalized medicine in BD (drug prioritization).
isolated micro-grid for smart cogeneration of electricity/cold – RECIF
Objective: Zero CO2 emissions for electricity and cooling production. Bottleneck: intermittency of the most common clean energy sources. Solutions: i) integration of several energy storage devices (electrical and thermal), ii) predictability of the resource and load. Proposal: coupling of 3 storage technologies / smart management of electricity and cold generation in a smart micro-grid for the building and industry sectors.
