The emotional side of our relation with pictorial works of art is probably the least known and most problematic. In the West, since the en
Emerging perfluorinated contaminants: contribution to the human exposure assessment, to the study of their metabolism and to the characterisation of their toxicological impact. – CONTREPERF
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are synthetic chemical substances produced and used to exploit their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance through anti-sticking material or surfactant related products. Consequently, consumers from industrialised countries are today in contact with these chemicals in their
Cross-modal integration of language and face cues in German and French infants – CROSSMOD
This project aims to investigate when and how infants are able to bind auditory and facial speech cues into a coherent and meaningful representation.

Definition of Evolutionary Histories for the Human Proteome – EvolHHuPro
The goal of our project is the definition of a complete set of the evolutionary histories (cascade of phylogenetic events) for the human proteome and their genome-scale analysis. The genetic information encoded in the genome sequence contains the blueprint for the potential development and activity
L'évaluation rétrospective des risques collectifs. Le cas de l'impact sanitaire des essais nucléaires. – RETRORISK
The sociology of collective risks has undergone an important renewal for the past fifteen years. Differing from approaches which considered the perception of risks, the most innovating works in this field have regarded collective risks according to a larger point of view: that of public problems who
Environnement et ré-émergence de maladies infectieuses en bassin amazonien : risques sanitaires & évolution de pathogènes humains majeurs (Flavivirus de dengue Mycobactérium ulcerans, Plasmodium falciparum et P. vivax) – EREMIBA
Evidence is now accumulating that environmental changes may have a strong impact on the health of humans and even wildlife. The issues involved are numerous and highly complex; indeed, many different parameters acting at different spatial and time-scales may be intimately interconnected in their eff
