Extension Projects
In addition to the core projects directly funded by Frontiers of Life, we support additional projects and partners on research activities in relation to our main objectives
//
In 2023, the University of Bordeaux has funded 20 new Interdisciplinary projects. Among those, 3 projects are directly relevant to the Frontiers of Life scientific priorities. These projects and their coordinating teams are now fully embedded in the Frontiers of Life Program:
- Project MISTIC: Microfluidic insights into the development of specific species and the toxicity of amyloid proteins is a joint project between CBMN and LOMA, coordinated by Marion Mathelié-Guinlet and Thomas Salez
- Project PhoTau: Photocontrol of liquid-liquid phase separation of tau protein is a joint project between CBMN and CRPP, coordinated by Yann Fichou and Nicolas Martin
- Project µTriEV: Micro- and optofluidic sorting of bacterial extracellular vesicles is a joint project between MFP, LP2N and CRPP_Bx, coordinated by Rémi Fronzes, Amaury Badon and JC Baret
With three post-docs to be hired soon, our community will grow locally and open towards new scientific directions !
//
The MSCA Doctoral Network SigSynCell is coordinated by CNRS (CRPP) and gathers 10+ partner organization accross Europe to tackle the question of communication in assemblies of synthetic cells. 3 PhD students will be hired in Bordeaux in 2024 and 9 more in the partner organization. https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/sigsyncell-un-projet-europeen-sur-les-cellules-synthetiques
More information soon...

MSCA Post-doc 2024: Two projects hosted by Nicolas Martin (CRPP) and Valérie Desvergnes (ARNA) will start in 2024. Congrats to the Laureates Emmanuel Joseph and Tushar Khopade !
More to come soon...
