Each project is led by an interdisciplinary consortium of 4 to 20 teams with complementary expertise, led by a coordinator. The complete teams are detailed in Appendix 2.
SECTION 1 – Accelerating the acquisition of knowledge on emerging infectious diseases
3D-LUNGO – Coordinator: CHAKRABARTI Lisa (Institut Pasteur)
The 3D-LUNGO project aims to provide 3D tissue models, based on the study of the susceptibility of nasal or bronchial mucosa and pulmonary alveoli to respiratory viruses, to rapidly and collaboratively test the lesions that newly emerging respiratory pathogens could induce.
France 2030 grant: €1,476,112 M
DEBS-Plague – Coordinator: Florent SEBBANE (Institut Pasteur de Lille/Inserm)
The DEBS-Plague project aims to understand the circulation dynamics of the plague and to identify the French ecosystems that are favourable or unfavourable to its establishment, adopting an interdisciplinary approach (combining historical, archaeological, biological, mathematical and engineering sciences). The aim is to limit or even prevent the possible emergence of plague, but also to develop a model system applicable to other zoonotic infectious diseases.
France 2030 grant: €2,737,534 million
SISP&EAU – Coordinator: BOELLE Pierre-Yves (Institut Pierre Louis d’Epidemiologie et de Santé Publique, Sorbonne Université/Inserm)
The SISP&EAU project aims to build and validate a surveillance model for respiratory viruses in France, integrating clinical cases and wastewater. It will set up detection and monitoring of viral strains causing respiratory infections to characterise virus circulation dynamics in the general population. It will perpetuate the technological, mathematical and IT tools developed for epidemiological surveillance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
France 2030 grant: €2,170,040 M
CAZIKANO – Coordinator: DESPRES Philippe (Université de la Réunion)
The CAZIKANO project concerns the Zika virus, which causes serious congenital malformations. It aims to characterise the factors favouring transmission of the pathogen by mosquitoes and viral persistence in individuals. The aim is to propose innovative anti-infectious strategies based on the antiviral action of compounds extracted from ultra-marine plants.
France 2030 grant: €3,250,270 million
Ft6SS-Meca – Coordinator: HENRY Thomas (Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie, Inserm Lyon)
The Ft6SS-Meca project will study the structure, molecular mechanisms of secretion and function of effectors of the secretion system (T6SS) of the bacterium Francisella tularensis (threat agent). The expected results could lead to the long-term identification of new treatments specifically targeting this secretion system, a key virulence factor.
France 2030 grant: €1,080,453 M
COPAFLICT – Coordinator: BAIZE Sylvain (Institut Pasteur)
The aim of the COPAFLICT project is to improve basic knowledge of viral haemorrhagic fevers and offer new perspectives for their diagnosis and treatment. To this end, it will study the immunopathogenesis associated with the Lassa fever virus (lightning haemorrhagic fever), to identify immune pathways of interest for the development of new therapeutic strategies targeting the host response.
France 2030 grant: €1,737,057 M
LSDengue – Coordinator: CABIÉ André (Martinique University Hospital)
The LSDengue project aims to identify the determining factors in severe forms of dengue fever to define biomarkers that can be used clinically and adapt patient care. It involves a study on an unprecedented scale, involving the complete characterisation (clinical, genetic, virological and immunological) of hundreds of patients of diverse genetic origins, recruited from a large part of the geographical area of incidence of dengue thanks to a vast network in the French overseas departments and territories. The aim is to anticipate the progression of infection to severe dengue, improve patient management and reduce the risk of dengue-related mortality. This intercontinental network could provide a solid basis for the preparation and control of emerging viruses, in particular arboviruses and dengue.
France 2030 grant: €2,082,853 M
SECTION 2 – Organising and developing new treatments, vaccines and other means of prevention, diagnosis and surveillance for emerging infectious diseases
NIPAH-LISA – Coordinator: LONGHI Sonia (Aix Marseille Université, CNRS)
The NIPAH-LISA project focuses on airborne infections by highly pathogenic viruses of the Paramyxovirinae family (including the Nipah virus), and aims to develop a multi-component antiviral treatment for these infections.
France 2030 grant: €1,580,557 M
VORTEX – Coordinator: GAYMARD Alexandre (Hospices Civils de Lyon, HCL)
The VORTEX project aims to develop a non-invasive diagnostic method based on the results of patients’ exhaled air analysis. It aims to identify signatures of volatile organic compounds specific to a pathogen or to the immune response of patients, in order to improve the management and monitoring of emerging respiratory infections.
France 2030 grant: €2,418,646 million
SECTION 3 – Enabling public policy and society to cope with epidemic crises
TICKRISK – Coordinator: GILES-VERNICK Tamara (Institut Pasteur)
The TICKRISK project involves an anthropological study and the co-development, with the professionals concerned (human health, veterinarians, breeders) in 4 countries (France, Spain, Romania, Turkey), of an epidemic preparedness programme that includes a risk communication component. The aim is to integrate this dimension into the preparation and response to an epidemic risk and, ultimately, to improve it.
France 2030 grant: €1,594,059 M
ACME – Coordinator: MUELLER Judith (Institut Pasteur)
The ACME project will study the key factors influencing the acceptance and physical and psychological accessibility of measures to combat epidemics, foremost among which is vaccination. It aims to promote the development and implementation of effective countermeasures, notably through appropriate and inclusive communication and organisation. Particular attention will be paid to building confidence in crisis situations. Ultimately, this project should help to improve the effectiveness of public health actions more widely.
