Bertrand Fourcade, Scientific Officer in the Physics, Engineering, Chemistry and Energy Department (SPICE) of the Scientific Operations Division (DOS)
How did you start working at the ANR? I have been working since 2018 as a Scientific Manager at the ANR, but first and foremost, I teach Physics at the University of Grenoble. I specialise in modelling, between physics and cell biology. We can divide a University Professor’s schedule in three par
Better Algorithms for Scalable and Efficient Blockchains – BASE-BLOC
Blockchains allow the execution of programs in a distributed manner between participants who do not know each other. From this, we saw, in particular, the emergence of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. However, the existing Blockchains technologies all have in common some problems, such as a high c
Better understand P. falciparum resistance to sulfadoxine to better prevent: new insights from the field to the atom – SULPAR
Malaria is a public health problem, particularly for populations at risk, namely pregnant women and children. In addition to protective measures against mosquito vectors (impregnated nets), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) remains the only available and effective prophylactic drug combination recommen
Between rise and fall in the South Caucasus: Common and specific trajectories of EBA Kura-Araxes communities in Armenia – Homeland
In the South Caucasus, which corresponds to present-day Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, the region between the Kura and Araxes rivers is considered to be the “homeland” of the Kura-Araxes (hereafter KA) culture (3600/3500-2600/2500 BCE). This culture was for nearly a millennium the socio-cultural
Beyond polar dead-layers and leakage in BST-based varactors for NFC and 5G telecommunications – BePolar
Emerging communication technologies like 5G or Near Field Communication call for voltage tunable ferroelectric (FE) film capacitors to work at higher frequencies or lower voltage, thus requiring the reduction of the FE thickness. Unfortunately, two interface-related phenomena, the FE “dead layer” an
Beyond shape and energy - Define novel roles of mitochondria in cell migration – MitoMove
Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles central to cellular energy metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and redox balance. Beyond these classical roles, mitochondria are emerging as key regulators of cell motility, a fundamental process crucial for morphogenesis, immune response, and wound healing.
Bi-particulate metamaterials – METABIP
The ability of molecules and nano-objects to self-organize hierarchically up to macroscopic scale while retaining some mobility is a very powerful concept, suffice it to observe that all living organisms are made from the self-assembly of building blocks. Self-organization leads to the appearance of
Big Data Network – MDK
In a broad range of application areas, data is produced at a scale so that it cannot be managed with conventional technologies. This has led to the emergence of the Big Data phenomenon requiring new tools for collecting, querying and mining large sets of data. Heterogeneous data collected in a m
Big Data Processing: Beyond Hadoop! – KerStream
Big Data evolution, the introduction of cloud computing and the success of the MapReduce model have fostered new types of data-intensive applications where obtaining fast and timely results is a must (i.e., stream data applications). Stream data applications are emerging as first-class citizens in
Bile Salt Hydrolases (BSHs) – based biotherapies to fight giardiasis – BileBaG
Giardiasis is a widespread intestinal parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Giardia intestinalis. This digestive parasitosis is considered a neglected disease by the World Health Organization (WHO). Giardiasis is very common, affecting children in particular, and can go unnoticed in some patient
