Emerging Dynamics of Janus particle Engulfment by biomimetic Membranes (EDEM) – EDEM
Understanding and controlling colloid engulfment by membranes is relevant in drug delivery, microbial infections and toxicity from nanomaterials. In EDEM we aim at achieving a fine control on Janus microparticle engulfment and penetration inside giant lipid vesicles as cell model systems. Beyond par
Indigenous geographies: roots, developments and perspectives in the french-speaking universe – INDIGEO
The INDIGEO project engages an epistemological reflection on the formation of indigenous geographies, defined as a field of research interested in the different territorial configurations arising from the spatial manifestations of Indigenous peoples and their identities. In France, despite the incre
METAL-BASED REVERSE INTERRUPT0RS WITH PHOTOMODULATED LUMINESCENCE AND NLO ACTIVITY: FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO MOLECULAR MATERIALS – COMET
Photonic devices that incorporate photochromic molecules represent the future of digital optical storage where the recording of information is accomplished with light. In a rewritable optically memory, all functions, read, write and erase, are to be controlled by light energy. Different kinds of sig
Room temperature THz Bloch amplifiers/oscillators – ROOTS
The scientific issue of this project is to develop the potential of semiconductor superlattice as an emerging technology for room temperature tunable THz amplifiers/oscillators relying on Bloch oscillations of electrons. We will make use of advanced theory, design and processing strategies to fully
Hierarchical Interactions by Light-Induced Generation of Heterogeneous Templates – HI-LIGHT
The in-situ modification of monolayers grafted onto metal or semiconductor surfaces with sub-micron resolution represents a formidable challenge that is central for the development of surface-bound molecular nanotechnology. Thanks to huge efforts by several world-leading research laboratories, the
From a genomic species definition toward an Ecological Species Concept for bacteria – EcoGenome
The bacterial species is presently only defined by the measure of the genomic similarity of its members. Even if this definition has been recently confirmed by an international committee of taxonomists (Stackebrandt et al., 2002, Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 52:1043-1047), the same committee also
Contrôle spatio-temporel de la ségrégation des chromosomes – CHROMALIGN
Most solid tumors possess an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy), which is caused by defects during chromosome segregation. The research in our laboratory is focussed on understanding of the mechanisms that allow successfull chromosome alignment, and therefore accurate chromosome segregation
Comparative analysis of Gene Regulatory Networks in chordate embryos. – Chor-Evo-Net
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) form the core of the transcriptional programme. The nodes of these networks are the genes for transcription factors and signalling ligands. Their edges are the direct regulatory relationships that link these genes via their cis-regulatory regions. Work in simple organ
Synthesis, structural analysis and biological evaluation of new biomimetic systems with well-defined structures – BioMiSys
Proteins and peptides perform a wide range of functions in biological systems, nearly all of which require the polypeptide chain to adopt a compact and specific folding pattern. These folding patterns constitute the key of information and biological functions. However, the difficulty to synthesize p
Mobilités circulaires entre les métropoles Européennes et Reconfigurations des Espaces de Vie – MEREV
1. Scientific background and objectives In our increasingly mobile Western societies, where the motivations and destinations of population movements are numerous and varied, new mobility behaviours, as yet not well known or understood, are spreading across Europe. This research concerns internationa
