An integrative study of the mycobacterial Fatty Acid Synthase type II, a strategic target for novel TB drugs. – FASMY
Tuberculosis (TB) remains today one of the leading causes of death in the world from an infectious agent. Due to misapplication of TB treatment, multidrug-resistant bacilli that fail to respond to conventional treatment have emerged. Thus, according to the WHO, the development of a new generation of
An integrative-interactive approach to speech development – VOC2SPEAK
The first two years of life are crucial for speech acquisition from vegetative sounds to babbling to the first words. For decades, empirical studies on infants’ productions have relied on phonetic transcriptions, which have provided crucial insights, yet insufficient information on the underlying a
An inter- and transdisciplinary project to study collaborations in sustainability science – COLLAB2
We understand collaborations as complex social processes, which need to be understood over time. The main objectives of the project are to 1. characterise inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations in the field of sustainability sciences: content, stages of projects where collaboration takes pl
An old skeleton for new applications in antibiotic therapy – AntiCyp
The success of antibiotic therapy is one of the greatest advances in the medical history of the 20th century. However, the massive and repeated use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic resistance in recent decades. At ICSN, in 2017, a new natural compound with antimicrobial activiti
An original public service between past and future: Public baths in France and Western Europe – THERMAPOLIS
While the issue of access to water is mainly analysed in southern countries, THERMAPOLIS addresses it in European cities through the example of public baths and community showers. Indeed, while easy access to water and sanitation in Northern countries is one of the indicators of their economic and s
Analogue Intelligent chip for short and middle range Radar signal processing – AIR
The AIR project targets at a reconfigurable and programmable integrated circuit based on analogue neural network for analysis of the short and middle range radar (24GHz/60GHz) system for new applications in remote and privacy-preserving monitoring of vital signs (heartbeat, respiration). The project
Analyse du transcriptome des interactions entre le blé et le champignon pathogène Septoria tritici (Mycosphaerella graminicola) – TWIST
Wheat is the most widely grown and consumed food crop in the world. It is the staple food of nearly 35% of the world population, and demand for wheat is expected to grow faster than for any other major crop. Fungal diseases are a major concern for wheat production. Among them, Septoria tritici (syn.
Analyse et Calcul des Effets de Rugosité sur les Ecoulements – RUGO
The RUGO project stems from questions raised by the study of gas and liquids near irregular surfaces. These questions come from various domains of fluid mechanics, from microfluidics to oceanography, and involve a large range of scales. Despite this variety of physical settings, some typical problem
