Leaf area index and wet biomass retrieval in agricultural fields from C-band SAR data using the Water Cloud Model

Maintaining and increasing agrarian production is a significant challenge for agricultural policy in the face of global population expansion. In this context, acquiring accurate and prompt regional estimates of crop yields and development is crucial in informing and formulating food policies and mitigating food insecurity to support farm managers and decision-makers. Also, it is challenging […]

Exploring the role of MRC2 in Multiple Sclerosis Pathology

This project investigates the role of Mrc2 in CNS (Central-nervous system) infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells using an EAE mouse model. Fresh and postmortem tissue will be provided by collaborators. Single cell suspensions from brain, spinal cord, spleen, and lymph nodes will undergo flow cytometry analysis, using different markers to identify distinct cell populations. Unsupervised […]

Improved power spectrum estimate pipeline for HERA

Radio signals of neutral hydrogen atoms from the very early universe are a crucial tracer for us to understand the formation of first stars, black holes, and galaxies. Observations of these signals are challenging due to the contaminations from bright astrophysical objects in the foreground and Radio Frequency Interference from terrestrial communications. In this project, […]

Intelligence artificielle pour l’évaluation des langues

Le but de ce projet est la création d’un outil permettant d’évaluer automatiquement le niveau de maitrise d’une deuxième langue via l’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle. L’intégration de l’intelligence artificielle dans un processus d’évaluation permet de réduire les aspects humains de la prise de décision. En effet, le jugement d’une personne peut être affecté par différent […]

Mechanical control of DNA methylation in regenerative cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exposed to stiff environment lose regeneration potential and acquire a scar-producing myofibroblast (MF) phenotype. We published that 4-weeks culture on soft-tissue-like surfaces not only prevents acute MF features but imprints memory that protects MSC from subsequent mechanical MF activation. Epigenetic methylation of DNA by methyltransferases (DNMTs) memorizes MF phenotype in disease. […]

Plasma activation of gold electrodes for the preparation of electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors

Electrochemical aptamer-based sensors (aptasensors) are a promising type of biosensor that can be potentially used as a biomedical diagnostic tool to detect a wide range of biochemicals with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. However, the surface of electrochemical aptasensors is susceptible to degradation and etching, which can compromise their reliability and stability. To address this issue, […]
