Regional Initiatives

Le Bois Santé (LBS)

Participants : Marie-Dominique Devignes [contact person] , Malika Smaïl-Tabbone.

The project ”LBS – Le Bois Santé – #38017” is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) and the French “Fonds Unique Interministériel (FUI)” in the framework of the BioProLor consortium. This project is coordinated by “Harmonic Pharma”, a start-up specialized in the identification of active principles in natural products. The aim of LBS is to exploit wood products in the pharmaceutical and nutriment domains. Concerned people in the team are working on data management and knowledge discovery about new therapeutic applications.

PEPS Mirabelle EXPLOD-Biomed

Participants : Adrien Coulet [contact person] , Marie-Dominique Devignes, Gabin Personeni, Malika Smaïl-Tabbone.

This project has initiated a collaboration with geneticists from the Hospital of Nancy, namely Philippe Jonveaux and Céline Bonnet. The aim of the EXPLOD-Biomed project is to propose novel knowledge discovery methods applied to Linked Open Data for discovering gene that could be responsible for intellectual deficiencies. Linked Open Data are available on-line, interconnected and encoded in a format which can be straightforwardly mapped to ontologies. Thus they offer novel opportunities for knowledge discovery in biomedical data. Here, geneticists play the role of experts and guide the knowledge discovery process at different steps.

Hydreos

Participant : Jean-François Mari [contact person] .

Hydreos is a state organization –actually a so-called “Pôle de compétitivité”– aimed at evaluating the quality of water (http://www.hydreos.fr/fr ). Actually, water resources rely on many agronomic variables, including land use successions. Accordingly, one objective of our participation in Hydreos is to have a better understanding of the changes in the organization of a territory. The data to be analyzed are obtained by surveys or by satellite images and describe the land use at the level of the agricultural parcel. Then there is a search for detecting changes in land use and for correlating these changes to groundwater quality.

The systems ARPEnTAge (see §  5.2.2 ) and CarottAge (see §  5.2.1 ) are used in this context, especially by agronomists of INRA (ASTER Mirecourt http://www6.nancy.inra.fr/sad-aster .

This year, our research work focused on implementing various display tools to have a better understanding of the clustering results that a stochastic modeling provide http://www.loria.fr/~jfmari/App/Arpentage/Yar.avi .

Contrat Plan État Région” (CPER)

A part of the links between the Regional Administration and Inria Nancy Grand Est/LORIA are materialized through the so-called “Contrat Plan État Région” (CPER) which is running from 2015 to 2020. There is an associated scientific program in which the Orpailleur team is involved.

Some members of the Orpailleur team participated to the definition of a project in one of the two tracks of the interdisciplinary scientific program called “Santé et Vieillissement”. The other track called “Innovations Technologiques, Modélisation et Médecine Personnalisée (IT2MP)” is coordinated by Pr. Zannad (CHU-Nancy). We proposed a project called “Simulation et Modélisation pour l'Extraction de Connaissances (SMEC)” which gathers physicians, bio-statisticians, chemists and computer scientists. The objective of this project is to design innovative methodologies for analyzing cohort data and make progress towards personalized medicine.
