Two researchers of university of burguny, Bruno David (also editor) and Thomas Saucède, are two contributors to this collective book : Biogeographic atlas of the southern ocean. Biogeographic information is of fundamental importance for discovering marine biodiversity hotspots, detecting and understanding impacts of environmental changes, predicting future distributions, monitoring biodiversity, or supporting conservation and sustainable […]

As major public health concerns, cancer and inflammatory diseases are pathologies with urgent medical requirements. A novel concept has recently emerged and relies on the ability of lipoproteins to distribute essential bioactive compounds and drugs throughout the body, and to neutralize and eliminate bacterial proinflammatory mediators. The LipSTIC LabEx is a multidisciplinary research program forming […]

Partners : FEMTO-ST, CHRU (CIC1431), EFS Bourgogne Franche-Comté… Biom’@xSciences and technologies is a pluri-science research axis aiming at developing smart devices able to understand (as fully as possible) a living system under study. This understanding should lead to the determination of behavior laws that, through prognostic approaches, allows anticipating the evolution of these systems with […]

Senior Scientist Valérie Masson-Delmotte has carried out comparative studies on climate variation in Greenland. Here, together with collaborators Pablo Ortega and Emilie Gauthier, she discusses their application, and the challenges associated with research on and in Greenland    What are your respective backgrounds in environmental studies and why is your current research centred on climate […]

High-tech tools at the service of sustainable agriculture January 7th, 2015 Imagine a huge building, enclosing adjustable greenhouses and climate-controlled chambers within which thousands of plants are growing on automatic conveyer belts, under surveillance by various types of cameras… No big brother has not come to the plant world, you are actually inside Dijon’s High-Speed […]
