The emergence of high-harmonic generation in solids has opened the door to countless new techniques for attosecond control in electronic devices. Simultaneously, quantum materials have become increasingly important for next-generation technologies that exploiting quantum mechanics for computation or sensing. Of particular interest is the family of 2D semiconductors, which are known to host an interesting […]

This project will be used to help develop tools for modelling how we control and optimize the size of bubbles that are needed in some industrial reactors. The current application is related to on-going work that is helping to reduce the energy needed to produce existing carbon-based fuels, but is also applicable to aquaculture, bioreactors, […]

The brain’s 100 billion neurons communicate through the release of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators across small junctions (synapses). The last two decades have seen remarkable advances in understanding the role of such molecules in the nervous system. Amino acids such as D-serine, are now recognized as a vital neuromodulators for synaptic plasticity but also for their […]

L’objectif du stage est d’étudier la dynamique évolutive des gènes de Vertébrés à court terme et de la comparer à celle de substitution, afin de comprendre les forces évolutives et non évolutives modulant la structure de ces gènes. En particulier, comprendre les forces modulant le taux de Guanine-Cytosine en amont et en aval dans le […]

Optical memory, one of the foundations of an image sensor, is a device that integrates the functions of a photodetector that detects light and a flash memory that stores information. When the device is exposed to light, the number of optical carriers generated in the floating gate increases. The memory status is determined accordingly. In […]

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Current prevention strategies are generalized and have shown limited effect on reducing the burden of breast cancer on a population level; therefore, there is a critical need for more targeted and personalized prevention strategies. As estrogen is a causal factor in breast cancer development, our current […]

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide with more than 1.3 million deaths reported in 2023. With the increase in multidrug resistant cases of TB, it is important for us to develop newer and faster acting drugs to treat TB. In addition, one-quarter of the world’s population carries a latent […]

People suffering from cancer often experience loss of muscle which negatively impacts the response to cancer treatments and shortens survival. Several factors are at play to promote muscle loss. We are proposing a more relevant model to study muscle wasting that occurs during cancer treatment by utilizing skeletal muscle biopsy from patients undergoing surgery for […]

Le Laboratoire d’Organogénèse Expérimentale (LOEX) a développé une technique alternative unique et innovante appelée auto-assemblage. Sur la base de cette technique éprouvée, notre équipe a développé une gamme de tissus génito-urinaires (vessie, uretère et urètre et vagin) présentant une organisation histologique très similaire au tissu natif et une très bonne résistance mécanique. Des tissus urétraux […]

Flocking behavior is the behavior exhibited when a group of birds, called a flock, are foraging or in flight. There are parallels with the shoaling behavior of fish, the swarming behavior of insects, and herd behavior of land animals. What we want to do is to build the mathematics models and use these models to […]

Lors de ce projet, le stagiaire sera chargé de caractériser l’anisotropie (variation des propriétés mécaniques selon la direction étudiée) des profilés extrudés en alliages d’aluminium fabriqués dans différentes conditions, en réalisant des essais de micro traction par rapport à la direction d’extrusion des profilés. Pour cela, il devra effectuer une série de mesure des propriétés […]

La thermoception consiste à détecter les changements de température ambiante et provoque des réponses volontaires et involontaires adaptatives, cruciales pour notre survie et notre bien-être. Les neurones de la moelle épinière reçoivent l’entrée des afférences primaires thermosensibles, modulent et intègrent le signal avant de l’envoyer au cerveau pour qu’il y soit décodé pour générer une […]
