DIGUES (Dykes, Interactions, Management, Uses, Environment and Scenarios): what transitions in maritime and river embankment systems in France in the 21st century, between uses, landscape, nature and protection? – DIGUES
What transitions in maritime and river embankment systems in France in the 21st century between uses, landscape, nature and protection?
Antimicrobials in agriculture: actors, practices, conflicts – AMAGRI
The regulation regime of antibiotic use in livestock farming put at the test of the antimicrobial resistance problem
Islands, Territories and Family Organisation – ATOLLS
The objective of the project is to analyze the structure of migration in French Polynesia based on the territorial organization of families. The aim is to evaluate the sustainability of the system supported by the public policies implemented as well as by family solidarity. This organization is characterized by an ultra-peripheral island context and urban macrocephaly. The study of the location of public services and transport is also fundamental in this project.
Genetic and molecular dissection of hydathode and vascular immunity in plants – NEPHRON
Plant pathogens such as Ralstonia, Xylella or Xanthomonas are responsible for devastating vascular systemic infections in crops. The genetic basis of plant vascular immunity are poorly understood thus limiting the design of resistant or tolerant crops.
Investigation of the mechanisms patterning epithelial cardiac progenitor cells in the early mouse embryo – HEARTBOX
The Heartbox project focuses on cardiac progenitor cells of the second heart field (SHF). Abnormal SHF development underlies common forms of congenital heart defects. The SHF is patterned into distinct (Tbx1 positive) and (Tbx5 positive) subpopulations with different epithelial cell properties and fates. Our project uses mouse genetics to 1) investigate upstream events patterning the SHF and 2) dissect the cellular mechanisms underlying SHF segregation to different regions of the heart.
Tailoring trapping defects in PERSISTent luminescence materials – PERSIST
Control of traps in materials with persistent luminescence
A novel PERspective on microTUbule Regulation – APERTuRe
Recent experiments have shown that microtubules do not only grow by elongation and shortening at their tips, but also have a dynamic shaft, where tubulin dimers can leave an integrate the lattice. This project aims at characterizing the shaft dynamics and its underlying mechanisms.
Peptide-like materials as highly specific molecular imprints – Peptimprint
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) are an attractive alternative to antibodies in diagnosis or targeted therapies applications. However, the imprint of proteins remains difficult due to their large size, conformational flexibility and low solubility in organic solvents. Moreover, the imprinted cavities obtained from organic polymers strongly differ from natural recognition surfaces found in paratopes, missing functional groups matching the multiple recognition sites of a protein.
Microscale spatiotemporal investigation of multi-species electroactive biofilms using optical microfluidic platform – MICROBE
Electroactive microbial biofilms are electrochemical biocatalysts capable of extracting the chemical energy contained in a wide range of organic substrates (effluents, biowaste, biomass, etc.) in the form of a flow of electrons (electric current). However, in the case of electroactive biofilms, the «multispecies« character gives biofilms a complexity that no one is currently able to master.
Self-assembly of nanoparticles: from periodic superlattices to quasicrystalline phases – SoftQC
involved: the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS, Orsay) and the Laboratoire de Chimie of ENS Lyon. At [...] develop this project in all its aspects. First, two types of NPs, semi-conducting (CdSe) and metallic (Au)
