Spatial Integration in Cell Cytoskeleton (SPICY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

The functional coherence in multicellular arrangements depends on each cell’s ability to adapt its internal organisation to the spatial configuration of their microenvironment. The asymmetric distributions of cell compartments and peripheral domains define the cell polarity. In multicellular animals, the establishment of cell polarity is mainly regulated by the cell’s adhesions to its neighbours a ...

Gathering organic and hybrid photovoltaics with artificial photosynthesis for Photo-Electro-Chemical production of hydrogen (photocatH2ode)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The future of energy supply depends on innovative breakthroughs regarding the design of efficient systems for the conversion and storage of solar energy. The production of H2 through direct light-driven water-splitting in a Photo-Electro-Chemical (PEC) cell, appears as a promising solution. However such cells need to respond to three main characteristics: sustainability, cost-effectiveness and sta ...

Epigenetics and chromatin dynamics in gametes : using yeast spores and advanced proteomics (EpiGam2)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The field of epigenetics has been developing exponentially over the last decade. However, the organization of chromatin in gametes is still poorly understood. The role of this organization in fertilization and early embryonic development is largely unknown.For many years, I have been exploring different aspects of chromatin organization and dynamics during male gamete differentiation. The study of ...

Fully artificial photo-electrochemical device for low temperature hydrogen production (ArtipHyction)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Leaves can split water into O2 and H2 at ambient conditions exploiting sun light. James Barber, one of the key players of ArtipHyction, elucidated Photosystem II (PSII), the enzyme that governs this process. In photosynthesis, H2 is used to reduce CO2 and give rise to the various organic compounds needed by the organisms or even oily compounds which can be used as fuels. However, a specific enzyme ...
