A novel, integrated approach to the mechanisms and dynamics of episodic memory: from genes to cells and neural network properties. – MolCellCog
Remembering past personal events of life, sometimes in great details, contributes to our individual construction and determines our relations with others. This capacity of our brain to store memories and to relive them during recall is known in humans as ‘episodic memory’, the memory of what happene
A panel of inbred lines to disentangle genetic and non-genetic drivers of Aedes aegypti microbiota and vectorial capacity – PILGRIM
Aedes aegypti is the main mosquito vector of several arboviruses of medical significance. Its vectorial capacity is influenced by manifold genetic and environmental factors, including the microbiota. Disentangling genetic and non-genetic drivers of Ae. aegypti microbiota and vectorial capacity is cu
A project for a vaccine against hepatitis C and B rewarded by the French National Academy of Medicine
Hepatitis C is a viral disease of the liver. It can lead to both an acute infection and chronic infection, the seriousness of which can vary from a benign form lasting a few weeks to a serious life-long illness. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), between 130 and 150 million peopl
A quest for biological roles of novel small RNAs discovered in a human pathogen: Helicobacter pylori – RARHePy
Gene regulation was up to recently believed to be exerted mainly by proteins. However it has become obvious that small non coding RNA may play an important role in the control of gene expression. The complete sequencing of many genomes from bacteria to mammals, led to the discovery of numerous RNAs,
A risky market? The emergence of predictive maintenance of military systems in France – PREDICT-OP
From a theoretical point of view, the study of digital data markets presents particularly important scientific challenges. Considering that the organization of market spaces always refers to a process of definition and implementation of rules by the State (Weber, 1971; Fligstein, 1990; Fligstein, 19
A smart wing for the automated and low-cost aerial monitoring of marine megafauna – SMART-WING
Marine megafauna includes marine mammals, sea turtles, sharks and rays that are increasingly threatened worldwide. These species occur at low densities over vast areas so an efficient and large-scale monitoring method is urgently needed to identify and protect their critical habitats. Drones are eme
A sociolinguistics of Twitter : social links and linguistic variations – SoSweet
The recent rise of novel digital services opens up new areas of expression which support new linguistics behaviors. In particular, social medias such as Twitter provide channels of communication through which speakers/writers use their language in ways that differ from standard written and oral form
A spin-photon interface: quantum entanglement and quantum measurements – SPIQE
The main goal of the present project is to investigate both experimentally and theoretically the potential of a semiconductor spin-photon interface for quantum information processing. Our objectives range from fundamental studies in quantum physics, to demonstrations of first functionalities for qua
A study on Dishonesty: from Emotions and Cognition to InStItutions and OrganizatioNs – DECISION
• Objective 1: providing a clear-cut analysis of the cognitive and emotional factors related to the intrinsic cost of dishonesty. This objective is addressed in Task 1. In particular, we studied the extent to which the intrinsic cost of cheating is modulated by motivated memory (the fact that people
A thermodynamics-compliant emergence of life driven by redox free energy and mediated by soft, transition-metal-bearing layered nano-structures – deltaG2Life
Life and its emergence fundamentally depend on the conversion of environmental free energy into cellular decrease of entropy – a stricture imposed by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. This biological free energy conversion (bioenergetics) is performed by an ensemble of metalloenzymes which carry out in
