VAlorization of secondary bacterial Metabolites in AGronomy and PHARmaceutical – VAMAGPHAR
In the agronomy, the increasing number of reports in the field of plant-bacteria-fungi interactions provides more and more knowledge concerning the nature and function of the microbial communities of
Using volcanic CO2 vents to assess coral reefs ability to acclimatize and adapt to ocean acidification and warming – PNG-Vents
(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
Using microfluidics to decipher molecular mechanisms regulating translation machineries – RiboFluidiX
Fundamental biological processes require metabolism adaptation mainly through translation regulation in order to respond to various stimuli ranging from environmental changes, stress responses or vira
Urban Cooling by Trees – Assessing and Modeling for Designing Sustainable Cities – COOLTREES
Among adaptation strategies of cities to climate change, « greening » cities i.e. reintroducing trees within cities, is probably a promising way since trees through transpir ation and shading have a significant impact on the heat balance of the surrounding atmosphere. The first general objective of COOLTREES is to assess and model the evapotranspiration of urban trees in relation with their environments, and to relate their role in the urban climate with their structural and functional traits.
Upconverting photon harvester for photocatalysis – UPHocat
Combined with a photocatalyst, UV light can increase the efficiency of certain chemical reactions. Our approach aims at using materials able to convert low energy photons into higher energy photons (upconversion). By an original synthesis approach we were able to synthesize these materials with a very high purity and to show their capacity to add visible and IR photons to generate an excess of UV beneficial for the photocatalysis
Unveiling the propagation mechanisms of local defects in PEMFCs, by measurement and exploitation of local current density distribution – LOCALI
Identification of fault propagation mechanisms within a fuel cell by monitoring its local and global performance through the development of innovative and non-invasive techniques.
Unravelling signaling pathways involved in encystment of disease-causing amoebae – AmoCyst
Despite the multitude of actors identified during encystment (cyst formation), the exact mechanisms of encystment are not yet established. The AmoCyst project aimed at deciphering the signaling pathways involved in encystment in order to discover targets for the future development of molecules against amoebae.
Unravelling how the mechanical regulation of local variability shapes reproducible plant organs – V-Morph
Significant loss in agricultural products is caused by increasingly variable climate and vulnerability of crops to pathogen attacks or extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the agro-industry
Unraveling the spatio-temporal dimensions of mechanosensing – MechanoSwitch
Cellular decision-making in complex environments depends on both biochemical and mechanical signals. It is now well established that adherent cells generate mechanical forces to sense the adhesive geo
Unraveling the origin of methylmercury toxin in marine ecosystems – MERTOX
Le méthylmercure est une neurotoxine naturelle formée dans les océans qui impacte la santé humaine. Nous pensons que l’exploration à l’échelle isotopique de l’interaction entre le cycle de la matière organique et celui du mercure permettra de caractériser les mécanismes qui contrôlent la formation de ce composé, et son intégration dans les écosystèmes marins de l’océan global
