Maïté Michaud joins Cermav as a Lecturer from Université Grenoble Alpes
Maïté Michaud completed a PhD in Process Engineering from the University of Lyon 1 in December 2019. Her research, conducted at LAGEPP, focused on the study and modeling (COMSOL) of membrane crystallization on diffusion/reaction systems. Following this, she completed two post-doctorates at CP2M in Lyon from 2020 to 2022: (i) the first in industrial partnership […]
Thesis defense of Jia Hui Lim on November 12th, 2024
Jia Hui Lim completed her thesis at Cermav under the co-Direction of Yu OGAWA (CNRS Researcher) et de Yoshiharu Nishiyama (CNRS Research Director). Her thesis is entitled “Order and disorder in cellulose microfibrils”. Abstract: “Cellulose exists as crystalline microfibrils in various organisms. While the crystal structures of native cellulose are well established, less is known […]
Thesis defense of Steve NONO-TAGNE on October 31st, 2024
Steve NONO-TAGNE completed his thesis at Cermav under the co-Direction of Issei OTSUKA, CNRS Researcher, and Yoshiharu NISHIYAMA, CNRS Research Director. His thesis is entitled “Electrospinning of Cellulose Carbamates for Enantioselective Membrane Filtration”. Abstract : “Pure enantiomers such as drugs, are typically produced via asymmetric synthesis or chiral resolution. Asymmetric synthesis is costly, while chiral resolution […]
A receptor required for chitin perception facilitates arbuscular mycorrhizal associations and distinguishes root symbiosis from immunity
Leguminous plants are capable, by detecting chitin oligosaccharides emitted by microorganisms present in the soil, of triggering defensive (immune) responses or, conversely, beneficial (symbiotic) responses that allow them to better absorb nutrients (water, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). In this study, the authors demonstrated in the model legume Medicago truncatula that the receptor LYK8, by forming a […]
Thesis defense of Aïcha Abdallah on November 12th, 2024
Aïcha Abdallah carried out her thesis under the Direction of Sami HALILA, CNRS Research Director . Her thesis is entitled “Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Glycoamphiphiles Integrated in a Liquid-Crystal-Based Biosensor for Pathogen Lectin Detection”. This work investigates the development of novel Glycoamphiphiles (GAs) integrated into a Liquid Crystal (LC)-based biosensor to detect nosocomial infections and […]
