The "Interdisciplinarity" and "New Entrants" calls for Research projects are launched each year by the IM2B Research Committee. They respectively support the launch of new inter-laboratory collaborations and the launch of new themes by new entrants to the IM2B. These 2 calls encourage risk-taking.
Interdisciplinarity 2025 award-winning projects:
Sensing plant intracellular pH by liquid-liquid phase separation of the master transcription factor STOP1, led by Thierry DESNOS (BIAM) and Sonia LONGHI (AFMB).
Molecular characterization of a heme-binding chaperone - CHAPHEME, led by Benjamin EZRATY (LCB), Bruno GUIGLIARELLI (BIP) and Pascal ARNOUX (BIAM).
Understanding the REgulatory Balance of Oxygenic photosynthesis and Nitrogen fixation in a Cyanobacterium - REBONC, led by Amel LATIFI (LCB) and Stefania VIOLA (BIAM).
