Towards a mechanical understanding of megathrust behaviour – MECHATHRUST
Prediction of subduction earthquakes mostly relies on interplate coupling models providing patterns of slip deficit between tectonic plates. These coupling patterns are interpreted in the framework of
Towards a global vaccination approach against multi-resistant staphylococcus aureus targeting the cellular, humoral and innate arms of the immune system – MRSA-VAC
Context. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is at present the most commonly identified antibiotic-resistant pathogen in many parts of the world. MRSA infections represent a major Publi
Towards a global Understanding of Massive Stars Evolution – TUMSE
The project aims at better understanding the evolution of massive stars. A two step process is developed: calculation of evolutionary and atmosphere models; comparison to observations of young massive clusters.
Towards a genomic and ecological atlas of the marine microbes of the Southern Ocean – ACE-Ecogenomics
The Southern Ocean (SO) has a central role in global carbon cycling with marine microbes significantly contributing to the atmospheric carbon sequestration and to climate control. Yet, relatively little is known regarding the SO plankton diversity, its adaptation to polar environments, and its contribution to the SO carbon pump. Based on samples from the ACE circum-antarctic cruise, we plan to uncover its taxonomic and functional diversity, as well as the biological originality of this ocean
Towards a dynamic quantitative understanding of axis formation in Drosophila – AXOMORPH
If the role of morphogens in axial patterning is now well established, it is unclear how precisely the morphogen concentration is measured and how precise each step in the expression process acting downstream is. Understanding how these gradients are established, how threshold activities emerge from their smooth decay and how with which precision, in front of varying size and environmental conditions constitutes a novel challenge in developmental biology and is objective of this project.
Towards a data-driven neurophysiology of auditory consciousness in health and coma – SOUNDS4COMA
The detection of consciousness in coma patients is a major clinical issue in critical care (ICU). Sound stimulation holds tremendous promise to reach to these patients but, despite much research, it r
Towards a cropping system based on a combination of new biocontrol solutions to control the carrot cyst nematode – ECLODERA
The ECLODERA project is an answer to the theme “Development of alternatives for managing bio-aggressors” for a situation that has become orphaned since the withdrawal of the 1,3-dichloropropene (in 20
Towards a computational multimodal analysis of film discursive aesthetics – TRACTIVE
Surveys on the quantitative representation of women in visual media are insufficient to grasp the issue of gender inequality, the visual modality being key to do so. In film studies, two relevant visu

Towards a comprehensive functional and structural analysis of late Salmonella effector proteins – Typheffects
Salmonellosis is one of the most common and widely distributed bacterial foodborne diseases. Since the beginning of the 1990s problems related to Salmonella have increased significantly and new concer
