Optimising the use of discretionary salt – SalEtMieux
Reducing sodium intake has been identified as an efficient lever to prevent noncommunicable diseases. Key sources of sodium include manufactured food products but also discretionary salt, namely salt added by consumers during the preparation and cooking of meals and at the table when seasoning. However, discretionary salt has been largely neglected so far, in spite of the fact that it deserves to be considered to pursue the sodium intake reduction.
Regulatory networks governing craniofacial muscle diversity – MyoHead
Craniofacial malformations are among the most common human birth defects and have multiple etiologies that affect diverse tissues. The underlying genetic, developmental and clinical causes of these malformations are largely unknown. Therefore we aim to identify all of the cell types that give rise to craniofacial structures and the molecular regulators that lead to the establishment and morphogenesis of the various cell lineages in the head.
Role of intracellular trafficking in the control of Immunoglobulin Receptor-mediated diseases – IDEA
Internalization of receptor-ligand complexes can either terminate or amplify and sustain receptor signaling. However, the role of endocytosis in the signaling of FcR have never been investigated. The hypothesis of the IDEA project, which is supported by our preliminary data, lift “the scientific barrier” of exclusive signaling of FcR from the plasma membrane.
PHOTOASSISTED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM UREA OXIDATION – HYUREA
The objective of HYUREA is to develop a photoelectrochemical reactor (PER) using solar energy for urea degradation coupled with H2 production (energy carrier) according to: <br />CO(NH2)2 + H2O + h?-solar + ?V-electrochemical --> CO2 + N2 + 3 H2.<br />This project is a break with curative treatments of wastewater treatment plants where nitrogen is difficult to treat. It integrates a nitrogen elimination at the source and allows a production of storable H2.
Multimodal imaging combining Raman and mass spectrometry applied to tuberculosis – MultiRaMaS
In public health contexts, where results of conventional imaging methodologies are often disappointing, molecular multimodal imaging is within a realm of possibility. Various imaging techniques are informative for functional groups, molecular weights, or special recognition sites, but no individual technique provides optimal answers to all questions. Thus, combining information from two or more measurement platforms is highly attractive.
Innovative analytical methodologies for biotherapeutics analysis in biological samples – MethAmAbs
Because the advent of mAbs is recent, the insights regarding their evolution after administration to the patient are limited. The clinical practice suggests that patients may respond differently to the treatment. To further improve the knowledge and adjust the dosage, it is important to implement a clinical follow-up of patients.To achieve this ambitious goal, an innovative CZE/MSMS method will be developed for the quantification and structural characterization of mAbs in biological samples.
Big Data reduction for predictive computational modeling – DataRedux
The DataRedux project focuses on developing radically new methods for the reduction of the complexity of large networked datasets to feed effective and realistic data-driven models of spreading phenomena.
Distribution of HYdrogen in the protoplanetary Disk and deliveRy to the Terrestrial planEts – HYDRaTE
Although hydrogen is the most abundant element of the Solar System, little is known about its distribution among planetary materials. In particular, the question of the origin of hydrogen -and thus water- on Earth, Mars or the Moon remains highly debated. The HYDRaTE project proposes to use primitive meteorites, chondrites, as witnesses for the building blocks of planets to bring clues on the hydrogen distribution in the protoplanetary disk materials.
