De nos jours, les élastomères thermoplastiques (TPE) sont l'un des plastiques les plus polyvalents du marché, comblant le fossé entre les propriétés de service des élastomères et les propriétés de transformation des thermoplastiques. Leur rentabilité et leur flexibilité de conception permettent aux TPE d’être utilisés sur de nombreux marchés d’utilisateurs finaux majeurs. Ces matériaux sont généralement des copolymères blocs constitués de blocs mous et durs incompatibles qui s'auto-organisent à l'échelle (nano)métrique créant des points de réticulation physique réversibles. L'amélioration des propriétés du TPE présente un intérêt continu pour la communauté scientifique compte tenu de la demande croissante de matériaux hautes performances mais recyclables. Néanmoins, l'amélioration de la stabilité des matériaux nuit très souvent à leur retraitement (cf. matériaux thermodurcissables) et les stratégies permettant d'atteindre les deux sont rares. L'objectif de ce projet de thèse est de développer une stratégie universelle pour synthétiser des matériaux présentant une résistance thermomécanique améliorée et une grande retraitement. Pour y parvenir, l'étudiant synthétisera des élastomères (nano)structurés bien définis en utilisant un nouvel agent RAFT symétrique. Des liaisons chimiques réversibles, semblables à celles trouvées dans les vitrimères ou les réseaux adaptables covalents, seront introduites pour améliorer les propriétés mécaniques tout en maintenant la recyclabilité. Ce projet multidisciplinaire se situe à la pointe de la chimie/chimie des polymères et de la science des matériaux. Il vise à générer des articles de recherche à fort impact et est financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR). Le doctorat. Le candidat travaillera au sein du Laboratoire Softmat : Chimie des colloïdes, polymères & assemblages complexes sur le campus de l'Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier. Les activités de recherche du laboratoire (UMR CNRS 5623) couvrent l'étude des systèmes moléculaires ou macromoléculaires auto-organisés, allant de la synthèse de chaque élément constitutif, en passant par la caractérisation physico-chimique, jusqu'aux applications. Le doctorant sera intégré au sein de l'équipe P3R qui possède une forte expertise en chimie des polymères, des polymères dégradables et en chimie dynamique des matériaux tels que les Réseaux Adaptables Covalents (CAN)/Vitrimères. Elastomères nanostructurés réticulés dynamiquement

Le postdoctorant sera chargé de mener une enquête de terrain dans le cadre d'une étude épidémiologique menée par l'équipe de Florence Ménégaux sur les liens entre exposition au chlordécone et cancer de la prostate en Martinique. Le postdoctorant prendra le relais d'un premier recrutement (contrat de 18 mois se terminant le 30 avril 2024), une transition sera donc assurée en lien avec l'équipe projet. Le postdoctorant réalisera des entretiens avec des patients participant à l'étude, ainsi qu'avec des associations, des professionnels de santé et des institutions travaillant sur les causes environnementales du cancer de la prostate, dans un contexte de reconnaissance de l'histoire récente de ce cancer comme maladie professionnelle. Si le temps disponible pour l'enquête de terrain le permet, une enquête complémentaire sera poursuivie sur les mobilisations des victimes des pesticides (enquête déjà ouverte par Marie Mathieu, actuelle postdoctorante sur le projet). Il s'agira de documenter la prise en compte des liens (ou absence de lien) entre exposition environnementale et cancer chez les patients, et la politisation du cancer de la prostate comme maladie de santé environnementale (mobilisation et mécanismes institutionnels dédiés). Le stagiaire postdoctoral devra participer à des moments de travail collectif dédiés au projet, rédiger des notes de synthèse sur l'avancement de l'enquête et proposer des analyses des données recueillies, contribuer à la rédaction de rapports d'avancement et d'articles scientifiques, en français ou en anglais. Le postdoctorant travaillera au sein du laboratoire IRISSO basé à l'Université Paris Dauhpine-PSL. Toutefois, la mission se déroulera principalement en Martinique (des missions longues ou courtes sont à prévoir). Le postdoctorant pourra bénéficier d'un espace de travail dans les bureaux d'un partenaire local (Arebio) à Fort-de-France où est basé l'autre postdoctorant (Rubis Le Coq) travaillant actuellement sur le même projet.

PhD student in chemokine immunobiology - HORIZON-MSCA-2022-DN Doctoral Network “B-ACTIVE”

These projects, funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)-doctoral network program  "B-ACTIVE", is a EU-funded collaboration between the universities of Leuven, Copenhagen, Graz, Ljubljana, Uppsala and several industrial partners located in Copenhagen, Uppsala, Graz, Cambridge and Paris (see https://b-active-dn.eu). In the B-ACTIVE consortium, fundamental and clinical scientists and companies will study the impact of posttranslational modifications of chemokine ligands and receptors while training 10 doctoral candidates into future experts with translational and interdisciplinary mindsets. The doctoral candidates will characterize interactions between chemokine ligands, receptors and glycosaminoglycans, study signaling pathways and recognize their importance in inflammatory reactions. B-ACTIVE thus provides training in the complexity of inflammatory responses from basic science to clinical applications and industrial development. B-ACTIVE aims to unite fundamental and clinical scientists with pharmaceutical companies to explore the impact of posttranslational modifications of chemokine ligands and receptors. The project’s goal is to enhance our comprehension of inflammatory responses, pinpoint the right drug targets, and actively contribute to pharmaceutical development, ultimately improving patient treatment. The MSCA doctoral networks aim to train creative, entrepreneurial, innovative and resilient doctoral candidates, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge into societal benefit.

Uppsala University, Department of Medical Cell Biology The Department of Medical Cell Biology at Uppsala University is a strong and international research environment. The department has more than 100 employees, of which about 25 are doctoral students, 10 postdoctoral fellows, and 40 researchers, teachers and professors. More information about the department and its activities can be found at https://www.mcb.uu.se/.

The research group of Professor Mia Phillipson is offering a 4-year funded PhD Student position in chemokines immunobiology with rotation of 6 months to Ilya Pharma AB, a biopharmaceutical development company in Uppsala. The team is an international, dynamic and very successful research group with a well-established collaborative network and strong funding. The conducted research is aiming to uncover novel roles of immune cells and to find means to regulate their specific functions in settings spanning from organ development and regulation of homeostasis to tissue healing, angiogenesis and inflammation. The laboratory is equipped with or have access to advanced technical tools and technologies.

PhD project: Investigation of chemokine proteoform and microbiome profiles of non-healing wounds in patients with diabetes The bioactivity of chemokines in vivo is highly dependent on the local microenvironment. Progression of diabetes and associated complications including non-healing wounds are driven by changes of the local microenvironment, which in turn affects local numbers as well as behavior of the immune cells, often resulting in increased recruitment but impaired function. Recently, the composition of the microbiome was demonstrated to be different in non-healing wounds, which in turn have been correlated to clinical outcome predictions for healing. It is likely that the microenvironment also affects chemokine ligand and receptor proteoform formation and thereby their local activity.

In this project, the PhD student will characterize the chemokine profiles as well as chemokine bioactivity in plasma and wound fluid from otherwise healthy subjects and in patients with diabetes using different assays, and correlate the results with the healing status of the respective wound. In addition, the PhD student will characterize the wound microbiome composition and correlate this to the healing status of the wound, as well as to the profiles of chemokine (proteoforms) and chemokine processing enzymes and processing kinetics in plasma and wound fluid. Today there are no pharmaceuticals based on chemokine ligands as such, but there are some drug candidates in development aiming to alter the bioactivity of immunomodulatory proteins including chemokines, and this project aims at supporting this field of science and drug development.

Ilya Pharma AB Ilya Pharma is a biopharmaceutical development company, with its own technology platform and drug candidates for the healing of skin or epithelial wounds. The projects are in various stages of development from translational to late phase 2 clinical trials, and are mainly targeting interdisciplinary unmet medical needs such as surgical wounds or as lung infections in obese and diabetic patients and immune check point inhibitor-induced colitis in cancer patients. The company is private and was founded in 2016, have since attracted significant funding from EU-programs and investors, and have hosted 2 Industrial PhD students which graduated during 2023.
