Alain Boussac, CNRS Research Director, is interested in the structural-functional relationships within the photosystem II (PS II) of chloroplasts, an essential complex for photosynthesis. understanding all the stages of the photosynthetic process from protein to the cell and then to the entire organism is crucial to addressing the problems associated with environmental change through the development of effective bio-inspired artificial systems in the production of carbon-free energy. The project of the team led by Alain Boussac consists in characterizing and understanding the stage of the reaction mechanism in which water is oxidized. The project involves biological, spectroscopic (mainly Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance) and thermodynamic approaches. Overall, this involves combining enzymology and spectroscopy with the production of modified enzymes either by directed mutagenesis or by biosynthetic or biochemical means. The project also involves collaborations with several laboratories, some of which are foreign, among the best in their field. The ultimate goal is to make a significant contribution to the field of bioenergy.

Doctor in Cellular and Molecular Biology (1997), Cécile Breyton is Research Director at the CNRS. Her scientific career has taken her successively to the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique (Paris), the Max-Planck Institute für Biophysik (Frankfurt) and Institut de biologie structurale (Grenoble) where she has been in charge of a team since 2016 and Deputy Director since 2017. The main focus of his work is the study of the stability of the structure of membrane proteins. In particular, she determined the role of delipidation in the inactivation of membrane proteins manipulated in detergent solution and determined by electronic crystallography the first structure of the translocon, a ubiquitous protein in living organisms that allows certain proteins to pass through the membranes. She then focused on the development of new fluorinated surfactants to manipulate membrane proteins in solution. In recent years, she has been particularly interested in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of bacterial wall perforation by phages during the early stages of bacterial infection by phages, the viruses that attack them.

Jean-François Briat is Honorary Research Director at the CNRS. An agricultural engineer at ENITA in Bordeaux and a doctor of state in cellular and molecular biology (UJF Grenoble), he began his research in Professor Mache's laboratory at UJF on the study of the structure and functioning of the transcription apparatus for plant chloroplasts. He then contributed to the analysis of prokaryotic transcription systems in Professor Chamberlin's laboratory at the Université de Berkeley. Back in Grenoble, he began studying iron metabolism in higher plants. The first part of this study concerns ferritins, proteins that store iron in a soluble, bio-usable and non-toxic form. This work has greatly contributed to defining the concept of biofortification used today by many laboratories to increase the amount of iron in genetically modified plants. In a second step, he undertook the analysis of iron deficiency and transport of this metal, by creating an ATIPE team from the CNRS in Montpellier, in the laboratory of Prof. Grignon (currently Laboratoire de Biochimie et physiologie moléculaire des plantes (B&PMP)). During this new phase two major molecular breakthroughs were made by characterizing the iron transport systems of the plant kingdom. Some of this fundamental research work has been transferred to more applied INRA research laboratories, making it possible to: (i) test different hypotheses of plant biofortification to improve animal and/or human diets, and (ii) measure the impact of changes in iron homeostasis in plants on the biodiversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere. Elected corresponding member of the Académie d'Agriculture de France in 2015, he headed the département de Biologie Végétale of INRA from 1999 to 2002 and the UMR Biochimie et physiologie moléculaire des plantes in Montpellier from 2007 to 2012.

During his PhD and postdoctoral research at UCLouvain, François Klein studied the mechanisms responsible for past climate change, adopting the approach "the past is the key to the present and the future". One of these main research projects concerned the analysis of the variability of East African rainfall over the past millennium. To do this, he used various of the most sophisticated climate models available, which he combined with other sources of information on past climates, such as reconstructions from various natural archives, through a data assimilation method. Recently, François Klein has decided to focus more on the technical aspects of climate models than on scientific research, and is now working on their development, optimization, and installation on supercomputers, still since UCLouvain.

Gerhard Krinner is research director at the Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement (IGE) of the CNRS. For more than 20 years, Gerhard Krinner has been working on the climate of the polar regions. He is particularly interested in surface processes at high northern latitudes (involving snow and ground freezing) and the mass balance of ice caps. These two aspects of polar climate are of global importance: the mass balance of continental ice caps (particularly Greenland and Antarctica) strongly determines the evolution of global sea level, while the possible future thawing of large portions of frozen ground in high latitudes (in Siberia and North America) may amplify future climate change through increased CO2 and methane emissions. Gerhard Krinner uses digital climate models to study past, present and future polar climate. He participated in the work of the IPCC 5th report as lead author for the chapter "Long-term climate change" and is currently chair of the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project, one of the four main pillars of the World Climate Research Programme led mainly by the World Meteorological Organization.

Geologist and doctor of quantitative hydrogeology, Patrick Lachassagne has focused his expertise and research activity on complex aquifers: groundwater in crystalline, volcanic, karst and glacial basement regions, natural, thermal and geothermal mineral water aquifers. It has led to a major evolution in scientific concepts concerning the structure and hydrogeological functioning of fractured basement aquifers (plutonic and metamorphic rocks): it has demonstrated that their permeability is due to supergenic alteration processes and has resulted in many operational applications in hydrogeology. For more than 20 years at BRGM, he has participated in the development of specific methodologies for the recognition, management, modelling and protection of these complex aquifers, during operational and research projects in metropolitan France, in DROM-COM and abroad. For nearly 9 years, he has been pursuing this activity, combining research and operational work for Danone Eaux on the natural mineral water deposits of Evian, Volvic, Badoit and La Salvetat and, more occasionally, internationally. Patrick Lachassagne provides regular university teaching and professional training. Since 2014, he has created and managed the "Water Institute by Evian" (www.waterinstitutebyevian.org). He is a certified hydrogeologist and vice-president of the French Committee of Hydrogeology of the Association Internationale des Hydrogéologues.

Bruno Malaizé has been a lecturer at the Université de Bordeaux since September 1998 (UMR 5805 Environnements et Paléoenvironnements Océaniques et Continentaux). By virtue of his training, he is a geologist, geochemist and paleo-climatologist. He works more particularly on the reconstruction of variations in the water balance (evaporation/precipitation), mainly in tropical to sub-tropical areas, at time scales ranging from several million years to the last centuries. These reconstructions are made thanks to the analysis of the stable isotope composition (18O and 13C) of several fossil carbonate archives, of marine origin (tests of foraminifera, corals), lake (tests of ostracods), or continental (speleothems). Over large time scales (several hundred thousand years, including Pleistocene glacial/interglacial cycles), he works mainly on the relationship between tropical monsoons and intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) migration. For more recent periods (Holocene period and the last few millennia), it focuses on reconstructing the water balance of certain populated areas to assess the impact of these changes on the development of certain ancient civilizations, such as the Maya, Saladoïdes, pre-Incaic civilizations, or more recently on the settlement of Easter Island.

Wasim Shehzad is currently Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology in Lahore, Pakistan. His research covers a wide range of fields using non-invasive DNA sampling in complex biological materials from food remains or soils. The quality and quantity of such DNA is low compared to DNA extracted from tissue samples. This approach is applicable to the identification of rare and threatened species, as it does not require direct contact with these species, which are generally very difficult to study. With the advent of high throughput sequencing and meta-barcoding approaches, it is now possible to generate millions of sequences from many biological species from a single sample. Using these approaches to study the diet of endangered cats in South Asia, Wasim Shehzad supported a PhD from the Université de Grenoble, under the supervision of Pierre Taberlet and François Pompanon au Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine (LECA).

Michel Veuille, after training in genetics, was a CNRS researcher in Gif-sur-Yvette, then became Director of Studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE, Paris). He prepared his thesis on the mechanisms of speciation and sexual selection. He studied sexual selection by repeatedly observing hundreds of genetic twins of fruit flies obtained by crossing lines made homozygous throughout their genome. This allowed him to refute or confirm hypotheses about the adaptive nature of sexual choices. A post-doctoral fellowship at Richard Lewontin's Harvard University (USA), allowed him to participate in the first research on DNA sequence polymorphism and, upon his return to France, to search for the molecular signature of natural selection in the genome. He has conducted numerous studies on this topic in African populations of Drosophila, demonstrating through coalescence theory that selection has had a positive effect on certain genes in the species' past. In addition to his scientific research, he has conducted several studies in the history of the theory of evolution, notably in collaboration with the philosopher Jean Gayon. From 1999 to 2007, Michel Veuille created and managed a CNRS unit without walls, the Evolutionary Genomics Research Group (GDR), bringing together a group of French, Belgian and Swiss teams studying the molecular genetics of populations. This GDR, later directed by Xavier Vekemans, contributed to the development in France of applications of coalescence theory. From 2003, Michel Veuille participated in the reform of the Museum by becoming the first director of the Systematic and Evolution department, which during his term of office saw the creation of an important laboratory, the UMR CNRS 7205 "systematic, evolution, biodiversity", which has since become the institut ISYEB (CNRS, EPHE, MNHN, UPMC). He was encouraged in this endeavour by the two directors of the Museum appointed after its reform, Bernard Chevassus and André Menez. He has had numerous research evaluation missions in France (notably at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research) and internationally. He was for a long time editor of the international journal Genetics. He was dean of EPHE.
