William Bourguet Trained as a chemist and Director of Research at Inserm, I lead a team at the Centre de biologie structurale in Montpellier, devoted to the study of molecular mechanisms involved in the (de)regulation of nuclear receptors, a large family …

The concept of endocrine disruptor refers to exogenous compounds or mixtures capable of inducing adverse effects on an organism or its offspring by altering the functioning of the hormonal system. We will illustrate this by presenting research on a few …

Two is the lowest spacetime dimension with lightcones, horizons, black holes and intrinsic curvature. Therefore, models of 2d gravity often serve as playgrounds to address difficult conceptual issues concerning black hole evaporation, quantum gravity and …

Abstract Did the Romans use economic criteria to make legal decisions ? To address this question without anachronistically applying the current framework of legal economic analysis, it is essential to start with the texts of the jurists, and in particular …

Abstract The eukaryotic cell cycle is the sequence of events that occur during the life of a cell to bring about successful cell reproduction. The key events are S-phase when chromosomes are replicated and M-phase when the chromosomes are segregated into …

Timekeeping in Mesopotamia was purely cyclical: the luni-solar calendar was punctuated by both the sun (alternating days and nights, succession of seasons) and the moon (timekeeping with lunar months). We'll see how the root DūR expressed the notion of …

We then turn to two more recent developments in research into the health effects of fine particles : on the one hand, the new metrics that can be used to quantify human exposure, and in particular oxidative potential, analysis of the chemical composition …

Abstract Since the discovery of transient execution attacks, we know that the micro-architecture of computers has a major impact on the security of cloud and other computers running code from multiple players. The speaker described these transient …

Abstract Encryption is very effective at protecting the secrecy of data at rest (storage) and in transit (networks). Could it also protect it during computations on these data ? The lecture introduced the notion of homomorphic encryption, enabling …
