This appointment comes after more than 15 years of close scientific collaboration between Bruno Robert's team in CEA Paris-Saclay and the Physics Department of the University of Vilnius.
Researchers at NeuroSpin are proposing a new magnetic resonance thermometry method to increase the accuracy in the measurement of small temperature variations induced by MRI.
I2BC and SCBM teams have identified and reprogrammed a new model of cyanobacterium, Cyanothece PCC 7425, for the photosynthetic production of a high value-added monoterpene, limonene, used in many industrial applications.
In pursuing their work on mambaquaretin, SIMoS researchers conducted a collaborative study confirming the therapeutic potential of the toxin and paving the way for its use as a diagnostic tool.
A team from I2BC (SB2SM), in collaboration with ICMMO, optimized a bio-inspired CO2 reduction catalyst, designed and developed in the laboratory, and showed that its efficiency relies on a subtle balance between CO2 fixation at the catalytic site and access to protons, which is essential for breaking the C=O bond.
A team from I2BC (SBIGeM), in collaboration with DMTS, took advantage of flexizymes technology to elucidate the functioning of the synthases of cyclodipeptides, enzymes implicated in the synthesis of 2,5-diketopiperazines, compounds that represent an unequaled source of bioactive molecules for the pharmacopoeia.
Theofanis Panagiotaropoulos (NeuroSpin) obtains funding from the Human Brain Project for BRICON (Brain Inspired Consciousness), a project of HBP's neuroscience activities.
Researchers from the M-CUBE european consortium, together with a team from NeuroSpin, are demonstrating the possibility of imaging two samples by 17.2 T magnetic resonance microscopy (NeuroSpin imager), at a single acquisition time, using two coupled ceramic resonators (probes) that lead to a better signal-to-noise ratio compared to reference MRI probes.
