Subversive pro- and anti-inflammation trade-offs promote infection by Listeria monocytogenes – PROANTILIS
usually a source of high mortality, with one exception listeriosis, which is a leading cause of deaths
Taxonomy, venoms and evolution of the Conoidea – CONOTAX
The Conoidea is a group of venomous marine gastropods highly diversified. The main challenge of the project is to identify the factors explaining this diversification, the main hypothesis being that new toxins allow capturing new preys, thus to colonize new niches, leading to the apparition of new species.

Making invisible powers present in the Himalayas – présencedesprits
This program of primary anthropological research aims to contribute to the renewal of our understanding of possession in general (including shamanism) through 1) the study of the various ways in which invisible powers are made present, including their many material representations (artefacts, ritual language, natural events) and 2) the comparative study of these through their variations and transformations in Himalayan societies.
Dynamic Matching and Interactions: Theory and Experiments – DynaMITE
The objective of this project is to develop a new generation of theoretical models of dynamic matching, voting and networks by embedding static decisions in dynamic models represented by Markov processes. The project is subdivided into three sub-projects. Dynamatch is devoted to the study of dynamic matching problems., Dynavote focuses on dynamic voting models. Dynanet is a project on dynamic formation of networks.
New Religiosities in Turkey: Reenchantment in a Secularized Muslim Country ? – NEORELIGITUR
This project intends to study the emergence and development of new religiosities in Turkey, a secularized Muslim country. Using diachronic and synchronic standpoints, it raises the question - until now not tackled by research on religions in Turkey, which is dominated by studies on Islam (Sunnism, Alevism) and Sufism -, - of religious reconfigurations, of their forms and registers, and of their historical complexity.
Living Together: Society and urbanism of an antique City of Italy. – VESUVIA
The aim of the project is to conduct an innovative archaeological study mobilizing all available sources, From the 18th c. the site has been excavated by a system of tunnels whose objective was to recover artefacts, works of art, antique decor elements to feed the collections of the kings of Naples. The archaeological study of Herculaneum therefore requires first to discover the context of all elements of material culture.
