This project is a continuation of my doctoral research, which investigates how IgG antibodies interact with neurons in various neuropathological conditions. So far, we’ve observed that IgGs can be internalized by neurons in models of spinal cord injury, stroke, and neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE). The next critical step is to understand the physiological consequences of this […]

The late Ediacaran marks a critical interval in Earth’s history, as it witnessed significant global transformations in the climate system and variations in ocean chemistry. These profound changes affected the evolution and distribution of early animal life. The crisis of Ediacaran fauna likely favored the appearance of the first shelly fossils, considered the prelude to […]

Spinal cord injuries often cause lifelong motor deficits, with limited recovery from current therapies. This project explores a new approach: using deep brain stimulation of the brain’s reward circuits to encourage and reinforce natural movements during rehabilitation. In the rat model of spinal cord injury, we aim to boost both immediate motor performance and long-term […]

Standing requires every claimant to establish a connection between his situation and the basis of the lawsuit which justifies his participation in the legal proceedings. It is often characterized as context sensitive, particularly in administrative law, given the diversity of decisions likely to be subject to judicial review of administrative action. The objective of my […]

Pain not only signals potential injury but also guides learning, teaching us to avoid harmful actions. Recent work from Roy’s laboratory (Coll et al., 2024) highlights the role of prediction errors—the difference between expected and actual outcomes— in shaping our pain perception, depending on whether it aligns with or violates our expectations. However, the precise […]

La pression artérielle (PA) est un indicateur clé de notre santé, mais sa mesure reste souvent ponctuelle et peu représentative de notre quotidien. Ce projet vise à améliorer cette situation grâce à un bracelet intelligent capable de mesurer la PA de manière opportuniste, sans brassard, en utilisant des capteurs comme la photopléthysmographie (PPG). Le stagiaire […]

Mon projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une maîtrise en philosophie et porte sur Être et temps, l’oeuvre maîtresse du philosophe allemand Martin Heidegger. Dans cet ouvrage, Heidegger tente de répondre à la question du sens de l’être, car tout autre questionnement supposerait déjà une certaine compréhension de ce que signifie « être ». Pour y […]

This project focuses on creating innovative, flexible ways for electricity grid operators and groups managing renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries to work together efficiently, even when energy production is unpredictable due to weather or other factors. By reviewing existing research, building computer models for optimal power flow, and testing them […]

Our research concerns a group of lipid trafficking proteins, scientifically known as ABC transporters, that only work when submerged in the sea of lipids, which we call membranes. These proteins can “pick up” lipid molecules, especially sterols, and move the lipids out or into the cells. We know that different members of these lipid trafficking […]

This project develops a simulation-based framework to evaluate and optimize the sustainability performance of university value chains, supporting higher education institutions in their transition to net-zero carbon emissions. The primary goal is to systematically identify and prioritize key emission sources and impactful activities within university operations. A comprehensive literature review will inform the analysis of […]

This project focuses on improving how we detect Alzheimer’s disease early by measuring lesser-known, protective forms of the amyloid-ß protein—Aß34, Aß37, and Aß38—in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. These shorter forms are thought to help clear the harmful ones that build up in the brain and cause damage. Using a highly sensitive method called single molecule […]

Global agricultural supply chains face persistent challenges such as unstable supply, uncertain demand, and tariff-related uncertainty that further complicates pricing and network design. This project focuses on the design and optimization of global greenhouse agricultural supply networks under trade policy and market uncertainty. The research aims to improve supply chain profitability, resilience, and adaptability to […]
