"Random matrices, universality and disordered quantum systems" (RANMAT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2019,
"Large complex systems tend to develop universal patterns that often represent their essential characteristics. A pioneering vision of E. Wigner was that the distribution of the gaps between energy levels of complicated quantum systems depends only on the basic symmetry of the model and is otherwise independent of the physical details. This thesis has never been rigorously provedfor any realistic ...

Towards spin qubits and Majorana fermions in Germanium self-assembled hut-wires (SPAJORANA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
A renewed interest in Ge has been sparked by the prospects of exploiting its lower effective mass and higher hole mobility to improve the performance of transistors. Ge emerges also as a promising material in the field of spin qubits, as its coherence times are expected to be very long. Finally, it has been proposed that strained Ge nanowires show an unusually large spin orbit interaction, making ...

Arithmetic and physics of Higgs moduli spaces (ARIPHYHIMO)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
The proposal studies problems concerning the geometry and topology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface motivated by parallel considerations in number theory and mathematical physics. In this way the proposal bridges various duality theories in string theory with the Langlands program in number theory.The heart of the proposal is a circle of precise conjectures relating to the to ...

Deciphering inter- and intracellular signalling in schizophrenia (IN-SENS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
IN-SENS is an interdisciplinary, cutting-edge European industry-academia collaborative effort for a novel training of scientists in molecular psychiatry with the prospect of discovering the biology of schizophrenia and actively promote drug discovery. Mental illnesses are a major burden to patients, relatives, and public health worldwide. IN-SENS therefore aims to profoundly change the academic-in ...

Mating system and the evolutionary dynamics of hybrid zones (PLANT HYBRIDIZATION)
Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 12 sept. 2017,
Studies that examine the genetic consequences of hybridization and introgression (gene exchange among species) have traditionally considered the genome a single entity. However, the concept of a porous genome suggests differential rates of introgression across the genome as a result of different selective pressures; loci under balancing selection are likely to show high rates of introgression, whi ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Cerebral Cortex Development (MOMECODE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
"The cerebral cortex, the seat of our cognitive abilities, is composed of an intricate network of interconnected neurons. The cortical cytoarchitecture consists of distinct layers with different cellular composition and function. Due to an immense heterogeneity in the cortical neuron types it is currently not known how many classes and which subtypes of cortical neurons make up the distinct cortic ...

Investigating the role of transporters in invasive migration through junctions (IRTIM)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
"The ability of cells to move invasively through the cellular junctions of the endothelial vasculature underlies the function of the immune system and the metastatic spread of cancer. How the invading and the invaded cells communicate to synchronize their actions during this behavior remains unclear. We are studying these questions using the developmental migration of Drosophila immune cells thr ...

Topological Complex Systems (TOPOSYS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
In dynamics, local behaviour is often very unstable, while global behaviour often is immensely hard to derive from local knowledge. Traditionally, topology has been used in abstracting the local behaviour into qualitative classes of behaviour -- while we cannot describe the path a particular flow will take around a strange attractor in a chaotic system, we can often say meaningful things about the ...

Limits to selection in biology and in evolutionary computation (SelectionInformation)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
Natural selection is the central concept in biology, and selection is widely used to solve hard computational problems. This proposal aims to deepen our understanding of selection, in both evolutionary biology and evolutionary computation, and to help bring these fields together. On the one hand, population genetics can show how to optimise genetic algorithms, and can inspire new algorithms. On th ...

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 ...

Breaking barriers: Investigating the junctional and mechanobiological changes underlying the ability of Drosophila immune cells to invade an epithelium (BB: DICJI)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
"The ability of cells to invade underlies many pathological conditions such as metastasis and inflammation. Invasion requires coordination of changes in the biology of the invading cell coupled with changes in the adhesive behavior and integrity of the penetrated barrier. This proposed project aims to understand the modulation of epithelial integrity during immune cell transmigration. Recent work ...

Collective disease defence and pathogen detection abilities in ant societies: a chemo-neuro-immunological approach (Pathogen Detectors)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
Transmission of pathogens is facilitated in societies whose members are related and closely interact with each other. Rapid detection of, and response to, incoming pathogens is thus crucial to prevent infectious disease outbreaks. My previous work has shown that ant societies indeed react immediately to incoming pathogens by performance of collective disease defences, including antiseptic behaviou ...
