CORTEX is a rare and combined multidisciplinary effort to understand the brain and human cognition, based on systems level studies of networks and interactions of multiple scales, from neurons to individuals. Understanding cognition and its biological roots, but also its pathologies requires a comprehension of its genesis, its structure, and its physiology. CORTEX pushes this integrative approach, which allows tapping into the resources of our brain for rehabilitation; the design of new and therapeutic procedures. One further perspective will be to pave the way, via reverse engineering of the brain, to the emerging field of bio-inspired technologies.
The LabEx project will make the region of Lyon a global hub in the field of Oncology within the next 10 years by achieving excellent research, develop training and education, and enhance the value of intellectual property and publications with a strong focus on health and internationally renowned. The overall goals of Labex are multiple, including being closer to the patients and developing innovative therapeutic solutions, bringing targeted training in oncology to future health professionals and researchers, and finally to attract new talents in the area of Lyon.
The ECOFECT goals are to i) develop an innovative research in the field of eco-evolutionary dynamics of infectious diseases by considering the host-parasite relationship as a complex network of interactions from the molecular and cellular levels to the level of individuals, populations, host communities or infectious agents ; ii) draw a bridge between scientific research and medical practices to accelerate the process of transfer from academic knowledge to operational medical solutions; and iii) promote interdisciplinarity to bring out innovative ideas for research on infectious diseases.
PRIMES’s (Physics, Radiobiology, Medical Imaging, and Simulation) primary objective is to develop new concepts and methods for the exploration, the diagnosis and the therapy of cancer and ageing-related pathologies. PRIMES brings together the complementary skills of 16 recognized academic and medical partners with a long-standing experience to develop state-of-the-art methods, covering all necessary fields, from basic physics, instrumentation, radiobiology, data acquisition and processing, to image reconstruction, simulations and modeling supported by supercomputing. Agence Nationale de la Recherche
ANR is in charge of managing investments for the future programs, setting up the evaluation and selection process, preparing the grant agreements, funding the selected teams, and monitoring the activities, i.e. following up on the projects, including accompanying the project leaders, supporting them in their development, and ensuring the review and the provision of monitoring indicators and providing impact analyses for ten years to come. Université de Lyon is the most important French University site outside the Paris region. Université de Lyon brings together in a unifying structure 11 higher education institutions and CNRS. Created in 21 March 2007, the Université de Lyon in the form of a "public scientific cooperation organization" (EPCS). This "Research and Higher Education Cluster" (PRES) then underwent a further evolution with the Act of 22 July 2014relative to Higher Education and Research, by becoming a "Community of Universities and Higher-Education Establishments" (COMUE).
