A multidisciplinary Doctoral Industrial School on novel preventive strategies against E. Coli infections (DISCO)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
The doctoral school proposed in DISCo originates from the common interest of Novartis Vaccines (NVD) and the French National Institute of Agronomical Research (INRA) in preventing E. coli infections. Both Institutes have a strong background in microbial pathogenesis, supported by a number of ongoing research programmes aimed at combating human infectious diseases. In particular, NVD, by using a hi ...

Insights into the ecophysiological and molecular significance of xylem hydraulic capacitance in Populus under drought stress (Tree Capacitance)
Start date: Apr 16, 2012, End date: Apr 15, 2014,
Global change is expected to amplify the frequency and the severity of heatwaves and drought events especially in Western Europe. These droughts jeopardize tree health and integrity of European temperate forests and tied ecosystems. There is a need to identify the processes that may allow trees to overcome severe water scarcities. Tolerance to xylem embolism is an intrinsic and operational trait r ...
