Cutaneous and Mucosal HIV Vaccination (CUT'HIVAC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Despite significant effort over the past decade to design and implement new vaccines strategies against HIV, no one has met its promise to prevent infection and/or to reduce viral load until reaching eradication of the HIV reservoir. To reach this goal, a translational research is critical to propose innovative approaches for an HIV vaccine enhancing broadly cross-reactive mucosal, humoral and cel ...

Social Vaccination in Ant Colonies: from Individual Mechanisms to Society Effects (SocialVaccines)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Living in social groups leads to a high risk of disease spread. Insect societies counteracted this threat by evolving sophisticated collective anti-parasite defences, combining the immune systems of all group members and their collective social hygienic behaviours. I recently described a direct link between these social and individual defences, by showing that social contact to an infected individ ...

Deep subsurface Archaea: carbon cycle, life strategies, and role in sedimentary ecosystems (DARCLIFE)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Archaea are increasingly recognized as globally abundant organisms that mediate important processes controlling greenhouse gases and nutrients. Our latest work, published in PNAS and Nature, suggests that Archaea dominate the biomass in the subseafloor. Their unique ability to cope with extreme energy starvation appears to be a selecting factor. Marine sediments are of crucial importance to the re ...

Strong Interaction Supercomputing Training Network (STRONGnet)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
The research aims at a deeper understanding of properties of strongly interacting matter. This is mainly done by means of numerical simulations of the underlying theory (QCD) on supercomputers (Lattice QCD). We wish to understand QCD for its own sake and as a prototype of a strongly interacting fundamental theory. Therefore we will calculate the spectrum of mesons, baryons and of exotic states, th ...

European Network of Vaccine Development and Research (TRANSVAC)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
"The TRANSVAC infrastructure will accelerate the pharmaceutical and clinical development of promising vaccine candidates by bringing the gap between academic research and clinical trials through carefully managing the advancement of promising vaccine candidates from preclinical animal models to early proof-of-principle studies in humans. Although expertise already exists within Europe spanning dif ...

MicroRNAs and Cancer: From Bench to Bedside (ONCOMIRS)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
"Although studies addressing their role in cancer pathogenesis are at an early stage, it is apparent that specific microRNAs (miRs) and molecules involved in their biogenesis contribute to tumorigenesis. The ONCOMIRS consortium proposes a natural succession of four experimental strategies. Fist, we will DISCOVER and unveil novel miRs and components of their biogenesis machinery and investigate lin ...

NanoTools for Ultra Fast DNA Sequencing (nanoDNAsequencing)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2011,
The demand for a next-generation of technologies for DNA sequencing that will provide fast and affordable DNA decoding is pressing. Present bio-chemical schemes are time consuming and expensive, thus cheap and fast alternatives for DNA “reading” are of great need. This is now internationally recognized. For example, the US NIH recently awarded 40M$ in grants overpiloting projects to spur developme ...

Spin and Many-Body Interaction Phenomena in Semiconductor Nanostructures (SpinManyBodySemiNano)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2011,
We propose systematic extensive investigations of many-body spin phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, with a goal to find effective magnetic/spin mechanisms to tailor various electronic anisotropies, potentially useful in device structures. The two principal Bychkov-Rashba (BR) and Dresselhaus (D) spin-orbit interactions (SOI) will be explored. We plan to calculate the anisotropy of the Frie ...

Photoregulated organocatalysis - From caged catalysts to photoswitchable catalytic systems (PHOTORCA)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2011,
"The project combines the two recent and versatile methodologies of organocatalysis and photoregulation with the objective to develop photoregulated organocatalytic systems. Together with the proposed immobilization in order to recycle these innovative catalysts such systems are expected to be of great value in the context of sustainable chemistry as control of reactions should allow for minimizin ...

"Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel ligands of NPY Y1 receptor as potential anti-cancer drug carriers." (CANPY)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2010,
"Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a hormone which is the most abundant neuropeptide found in the mammalian central nervous system. It was proved that NPY is implicated in several highly important biological functions such as food intake, vasoconstriction, orexigenic effects, seizures, anxiety, thermogenesis, cardiac hypertrophy, pain modulation and hormone secretion. These activities are mediated by six re ...
