Title : When Photons listen to Phonons.
Abstract
How can light be used to generate and detect acoustic and thermal waves in solids? The principle of Picosecond Ultrasonics and Picosecond thermoreflectance is to use intense (100kW) and ultrashort (100fs) light train pulses as a hammer to produce a thermo acoustic perturbation in a nanomate- rial. A second light train pulses is used as a stroboscope to detect the surface motion or temperature with a sub picosecond time resolution. The thermal and acoustic spectrum can be monitored up to 2THz. The acoustic wavelength is in the order of nanometer. That allows this technique to be very well suited to micro and nano thermal physics, and nanomaterial physical properties measurement. The principle of Picosecond Ultrasonics and Picosecond thermoreflectance will be explained in simple words. Some applications to time resolved spectroscopy using a super continuum generated by a photonic crystal fiber will be presented. This kind of experiment can be used to generate and observe shear waves at picosecond time scale. This opens a new field for non-contact measurement, metrology and failure analysis in microelectronics. A few applications will be presented.

Title : ‘’Fishing expedition’’ for biomarkers and modifiers of human neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract :

Past decade was marked by rapid advances in genome sequencing combined with an unprecedented development of novel research approaches to study biological systems in their complexity. A vast amount of genomic information and new tools such as gene expression microarrays triggered the call for a broad experimental design that includes a prerequisite and more extensive ‘’hypothesis generation’’ steps logi- cally connected with follow-up functional studies. This approach lead to the development of a new field of research generally referred to as Functional Genomics. Our research applies the tools and techniques of functional genomics to the studies of human neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. It focuses on the generation of whole genome expression data in health and disease, and filtering these data using functional studies in vitro and in vivo towards the identification of novel biomarkers, disease modifiers and drug targets. In this presentation, several recently completed and ongoing projects will be described with a focus on identification and functional validation of puromycin sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA/NPEPPS), a novel neuroprotective factor that specifically acts on neurotoxic misfolded proteins. Special emphasis will be made on current methods and experimental challenges used in this work. Download the Abstract

Le LIMMS Workshop was held in CNRS Paris, on March 10th. Almost 100 persons have attended this workshop, which was a full success for the organizers.
The aim of this workshop was both to present all the actual research topics performed by LIMMS members, and to offer a good opportunity for future CNRS researchers and post-doctorate candidates for LIMMS to meet all the host Professors.
Some pictures of the event are available on this link LIMMS WORKSHOP 2009.
