Awarded Projects

Climate change and pollution urge the aeronautical sector to reduce its environmental footprint.

This project proposes novel methods leveraging multi-modality and foundation models to correct SpT data for unwanted sources of variation while preserving the biological signal and at adapting downstream analyses including adapting differential gene expression analysis (DGE) to newly corrected data.

Olfactory receptors (ORs) are the largest subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). ORs evolved to interact with the outside world by detecting volatile molecules called odorants.

This project aims to develop novel methods for adapting language content across cultures, framing cultural adaptation—a key concept from translation studies—as a central task in AI.

Intermolecular electron and energy transfer plays a fundamental role in organic solar cells, which have practical advantages over silicon-based cells but still have to catch up in efficiency.

The prebiotic origin of the chemical complexity found on Earth nowadays is a matter of debate in the astrochemical community. In the interstellar medium (ISM), huge molecular clouds mainly composed by atomic species and dust grains, provide the factory for ignition of chemical processes.

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are central receptors of electrochemical signaling in cells across evolution, in particular as the major mediator of fast synaptic transmission in the vertebrate nervous system.

The goal of this study is to investigate how combinatorial histone isoforms might be used to encode new physiological signals.

This project proposes a novel experimental suite for sign language translation that compares unsupervised tokenization strategies through novel vector quantization methods used in speech.
