Center of excellence for Resaerch in Infectious diseases and ZoonoES in Indian Odean – CRIZES-IO
The international concept of One Health is essential for containing and controlling infectious diseases, particularly zoonoses, which account for over 75% of human microbial diseases. Réunion island and the South-Western Indian Ocean (SOOI) region are currently facing major epidemic threats. During
Centre d'analyse de systèmes complexes dans les environnements complexes
Cells function through transient interactions of macromolecular complexes. Understanding fully the dynamic processes of life at the molecular level requires understanding the structures of these dynamic complexes. Developing the tools to accomplish this aim is the subject of CACSICE: we are creating
CentrifugAl iNstabilities and Turbulence in plAsmas: from LaboratOry plasmas to JUPiter's magnetospherE – CANTALOUPE
The rotation of magnetized plasmas, ubiquitous in the universe and technological applications, is known to lead to centrifugal instabilities and ultimately to an intense cross-field turbulent transport. In this proposal, we will address open issues raised by recent observations of centrifugally unst
Cerebellar circuits and function in vocal learning – VocaLearn
Motor skills, such as learning to ride a bicycle or to move our tongue and vocal cords during a conversation, naturally emerge from our experience and are executed without awareness. The acquisition of such fine motor skills (i.e. procedural learning) and sensorimotor learning in general involve bot
Cerebral mechanisms underlying social decision making in humans: Combining computational neuroscience with intracranial recordings and model-based fMRI – BRAINCHOICE
Our social decisions rely on probabilistic knowledge about the possible outcomes of choices and on the intentions and cooperativeness of other individuals. The project BRAINCHOICE seeks a better understanding of the neurobiological basis of social decision-making in humans. It develops a new theore
Chair for aerodynamics, dedicated to radial turbomachinery – CASTOR
The transition of transport toward net-zero emissions requires significant changes in system architecture. Many subsystems, such as the propulsion unit or air conditioning systems, are impacted. The radial turbomachines involved in these subsystems must be adapted. In this process, generally linked
Challenge Of water Quality in Urban Environmental Issue: Recife Aquifers and Land use. How to face groundwater salinisation and contamination under global environmental change in its societal context – COQUEIRAL
La Région Métropolitaine de Recife apparaît ainsi comme un «point chaud» typique illustrant les problèmes des pays émergents, tels que l'urbanisation, la répartition inégale de la richesse, la faiblesse des structures décisionnelles, les développements industriel et touristique rapides, induisant de
Challenges associated with the use of phages as a therapeutic and disinfection tool – ResisPhages
Bacteriophages are currently used in different countries to disinfect instruments, rooms, and food products. They are applied to treat acute and chronic infections in humans, animals and plants, and sometimes for prophylaxis in patients. Bacteriophages are also studied to face highly pathogenic bact
Challenges in Mathematics emerging from Neurosciences – ChaMaNe
The ambition of the ChaMaNe project is to create a research group to achieve significant advances in the field of mathematics for neuroscience. The comprehension of the brain is still far from being achieved and its modeling is extremely complex. In particular, many scales coexist: from proteins and
Changement climatique et Arctique et circulation océanique globale
Anthropogenic climate change is affecting major components of the Earth’s climate system. Its impacts are pronounced at high latitudes, where the decline of Arctic sea ice is evident. Likewise, they are clear in low latitudes, as exemplified by the enhanced warming of the tropical Indian Ocean. Acco
