Regional Initiatives

Partnership with computer science laboratories in Nantes

Participants : Anne Siegel, Jérémie Bourdon, Damien Eveillard, François Coste, Jacques Nicolas, Oumarou Abdou-Arbi, Vincent Picard, Santiago Videla, Sven Thiele.

Methodologies are developed in close collaboration with university of Nantes (LINA) and Ecole centrale Nantes (Irccyn). This is acted through the Biotempo and Idealg ANR projects and co-development of common software toolboxes within the Renabi-GO platform process. Two Ph-D thesis are also co-supervised within these collaborations.

Partnership in Marine Biology

Participants : Anne Siegel, Catherine Belleannée, Jérémie Bourdon, François Coste, Damien Eveillard, Jacques Nicolas, Guillaume Collet, Clovis Galiez, Gaëlle Garet, Vincent Picard, Sylvain Prigent.

A strong application domain of the Dyliss project is marine Biology. This application domain is co-developped with the station biologique de Roscoff and their three UMR and involves several contracts. The IDEALG consortium is a long term project (10 years, ANR Investissement avenir) aiming the development of macro-algae biotechnology. Among the research activities, we are particularly interested in the analysis and reconstruction of metabolism and the characterization of key enzymes. Other research contracts concern the modelling of the initation of sea-urchin translation ( PEPS program Quantoursin, Ligue contre le cancer and ANR Biotempo), the analysis of extremophile archebacteria genomes and their PPI networks (Former ANR MODULOME and PhD thesis P.-F. Pluchon) and the dentification of key actors implied in competition for light in the ocean (PELICAN ANR project).

Partnership with Inra and Health

Participants : Jacques Nicolas, Catherine Belleannée, François Coste, Michel Le Borgne, Anne Siegel, Oumarou Abdou-Arbi, Geoffroy Andrieux, Pierre Blavy, Valentin Wucher.

We have a strong and long term collaboration with biologists of INRA in Rennes : IGEEP and SENAH units. This partnership is acted by the co-supervision of one post-doctorant and two PhD students. It is also reinforced by collaboration within ANR contracts (Lepidolf, MirNadapt, FatInteger).

We also have a strong and long term collaboration with the IRSET laboratory at Univ. Rennes 1, acted by a co-supervised Ph-D thesis. This partnership is reinforced with the ANR contract Biotempo and has been also supported in the framework of the previous CPER by a project, BasicLab, on a lab on chip for cell assays.
