Artificial gauge fields on neutral atoms – AGAFON
This project was devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of cold atomic gases submitted to external artificial magnetic fields and/or exhibiting permanent currents. From the theory point of view, we first wanted to explore the most promising situations to generate such situation and pro
Artificial intelligence for food-related emotions analysis – aiMotions
Emotions constitute an essential factor that significantly influences our behaviors. Eating behavior is no exception and the relationships between emotions and food are of great interest to the scientific community. Emotional states influence eating behavior including motivation to eat, food choice,
Artificial-Intelligence-based Methods for Nanobody Design – ANDES
ANDES aims at developing and experimentally validating new computational methods for nanobody design, with a large spectrum of applications (therapies, diagnosis…) in order to have efficient technological solutions, ready to react very quickly and to face the emergence of new viruses. Our ambition l
Ascending smoke vortices in the stratosphere – ASTuS
The major volcanic eruptions of the past (Lakki 1784, Tambora 1815, Krakatoa 1883, Pinatubo 1991) disrupted the climate over periods of several months to a few years. Other less significant eruptions (Sarychev 2009, Nabro 2011, Calbuco 2025, Raikoke 2019, …) induced an instantaneous radiative distur
Assembly and Function of the Type IV Secretion System Channel from Integrative and Conjugative Elements – FUN-ICE
The emergence and the spread of antibiotic resistance are natural phenomena of bacterial adaptation to antimicrobial exposure. The last decades, the inappropriate use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine has accelerated these processes, leading to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria that
Assembly of green PROcesses for optimal biomass Valorization – APROVE
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is regarded as a key element to respect the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. LCB can be used for sustainable production of added value components and energy. To maximize the economic profitability of LCB biorefinery (currently mainly based on cellulose and hemicellulose v
Assessing CHILdren Exposure to environmental chemicals using target and non-target strategies – ACHILE
Assessing human exposure to chemicals can be carried out by measuring chemicals or their biomarkers in human specimens. This approach allows an aggregate measure of exposure that provides a picture of the amount of chemicals absorbed into the body considering all routes of uptake and all sources. A
Assessing and controlling the risks associated with the emergence of Chronic Wasting Disease in Europe – EU-CWD
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects wild and farmed cervids. CWD is a highly contagious: over the last 15 years the disease has spread across the whole United States of America and Canada. The CWD epidemics reached a stage where it now threatens the long term survival of c
Assessing microbiological risks resulting from new consumption practices induced by climate change – SafeFood4ClimDiet
Climate change tends to worsen food safety and increase foodborne illness due to new factors along the supply chain and changes in behaviour. Some studies explore this "farm to fork" perspective, but often neglect the role of the consumer. However, the general public is increasingly concerned about
Assessing the Contribution of Tricellular Junctions to Epithelial Mechanics – ACTRICE
Epithelial tissues perform essential barrier, protective and cell renewal functions. Their integrity depends on intercellular junctions that are capable of withstanding mechanical stress while remaining dynamic to allow cell division, migration and differentiation. While bicellular junctions have be
