Shamash is a project funded
by the ANR in the national program for research in bioenergy. Its objective is to produce biodiesel from microalgae. Shamash is coordinated by O.Bernard, it includes
8 partners, for a total
budget of 2.8 Millions Euros. The role of COMORE is to design a model of the process
in order to better understand the dynamical mechanisms that lead to the transient storage of lipids. The second step will then
consist in defining optimal
conditions to maximize the oil
production.
European project HYGEIA
HYGEIA (Hybrid Systems for Biochemical
Network Modelling and Analysis)
is a NEST ADVENTURE STREP European
project. The objective of HYGEIA is
to exploit recent developments
in the area of hybrid systems
to address open problems in
modelling and analysis of biochemical networks, see http://www.hygeiaweb.gr/home.html.
European Network of Excellence HYCON
The
objective of the NoE HYCON (Hybrid
Control: Taming Heterogeneity
and Complexity of Networked
Embedded Systems) is establishing
a longlasting community of leading researchers and practitioners who develop and apply the hybrid systems approach to the design of networked
embedded control systems as
found, e.g., in industrial
production, transportation systems, generation and distribution of energy,
communication systems, genetic
systems (see http://www.ist-hycon.org/).
In the oceans as well
as in lakes or photobioreactors, it
is both essential and difficult to take into account the coupling between hydrodynamics and biology. This is a crucial issue because many phenomena are directly influenced by this coupling (carbon flux, productivity,
population dynamics, ...). The multi-scale aspects of this coupled system necessary involves sophisticated models (eg hydrodynamics)
for its simulation and few studies and numerical tools are able of handling this coupling
effectively.
This project aims:
- to assess situations where
the inclusion of this coupling
is required.
- to propose models and numerical
techniques to account for these
coupled phenomena.
- to identify
Over the years, Comore
has been developing a software framework
for bioprocess control and supervision called ODIN. This C++ application enables
to easily develop and deploy advanced control algorithms through the use of a Scilab interpreter.
ODIN is a distributed platform, enabling remote monitoring of the controlled
processes as well as remote data acquisition.
BOOM
The BOOM project - Biodiversity of Open Ocean Microcalcifiers - is aiming at
elucidating the biodiversity
of calcifying species. This
encompasses the study of phylogeny from existing cultures and bulk DNA as
well as culture isolation from
in situ sample collection, genome
size screening. Environmental and functional
diversity are concerned with experimental lab physiological studies. Participants : Station Biologique de Roscoff
(UPMC-CNRS), Laboratoire d Oceanographie de Villefranche/Mer (UPMC-CNRS), CEREGE, Université de Caen,
Laboratoire Arago de Banyuls (UPMC-CNRS), Museum of
Natural History (UK), AlfredWegener
Institute (GER), California State University
(USA) http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/~gattuso/boom.php.
BFN - LEFE
Comore takes
part in the BFN project funded
by INSU (Institut National des Sciences de l Univers) within
the LEFE program. The objective is to provide new data assimilation algorithms
for improving state and parameter
estimation in oceanography. http://www.mip.upstlse. fr/~auroux/LEFE/.
GDR BioH2
The
objective of this GDR is
the development of new biotechnological
processes based on microorganisms producing hydrogen. Comore is taking part mainly in the modelling and
control aspects of the H2 production processes involving anaerobic bacteria or microalgae.
MetaGenoReg
The
objective of this project, funded by ANR (Systems Biology), is to model and analyze the
interaction between metabolic
and genetic regulations, with the example of the carbon metabolism of E. coli. The
project is directed by D. Kahn (Helix, INRIA).
StepContr
The aim of this project
is the advanced control of wastewater treatment bioprocesses when the input is known and periodic.
This project, funded
by l Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie , is steered by A. Karama (Univ. Marrakech), and also involves M. Perrier (Ecole
Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada).
Action
ACI IMPBIO BacAttract
COMORE is a participant in this action funded by the Ministère de la Recherche. The aim is the modelling
and analysis of some well known gene
networks (see http://www.inrialpes.fr/helix/people/dejong/projects/aci03/bacattract-eng.html).
Action ACI IMPBIO MathResoGen
COMORE is a participant in this action funded by the Ministère de la Recherche. The aim is the analysis
of metabolic/genetic
networks, (see http://perso.univrennes1.
fr/ovidiu.radulescu/ACI.html).
ECOGER
We participate
in one of the themes of this
project, which is funded by INRA: Ecology and adaptation of phytophagous insects and
management of their populations . Our objective in this project is
the mathematical modelling
and optimization of biological
control.
COREV
Comore is an
active participant in the research group COREV
(Modèles et théories pour le contrôle de ressources vivantes et la gestion de
systèmes écologiques), see http://www.inapg.fr/ens_rech/bio/Ecologie/corev/corev-accueil.htm.
