Our unit's project focuses on biocommunication between the cardiovascular/renal axis and metabolic tissues in a complex pathophysiological context, namely metabolic syndrome. Our work aims to better characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in damage to different target tissues (cardiovascular and metabolic) during metabolic dysfunction, as well as the biocommunication pathways between these tissues. Through this integrative approach to chronic diseases, we hope to develop new therapeutic strategies with the aim of preventing damage to cardiovascular and metabolic tissues and thus reducing cardiovascular risk and metabolic dysfunction.

Numerous interactions take place between the various micro- and macro-organisms in agro-ecosystems and plants. These interactions, which determine plant health, growth, and productivity, are often poorly understood. The PHIM joint research unit produces knowledge and solutions to improve plant health and increase their productivity and quality. PHIM uses approaches from molecular biology and genetics, population genetics and genomics, epidemiology, and population dynamics and modeling to study these interactions at scales ranging from the cell to the cultivated plot.

OREME focuses its scientific activities on natural hazards and the impact of global and anthropogenic changes on the Mediterranean region, drawing on the scientific and technical expertise of its partners in geosciences, hydrosciences, biodiversity sciences, and ecology. Its mission is to: support systematic observation activities or development in space and environmental science; to support the construction of open, shared, internationally referenced environmental databases; to encourage the pooling of analytical resources (observation, experimentation, modeling) and expertise; to act as the local relay for national observation networks and position itself as a key player in environmental actions focused on the Mediterranean. OREME is therefore interested in three fundamental questions: the origin and assessment of natural and anthropogenic hazards and disturbances; the recording of recent and current global changes, their links with anthropogenic factors, and in particular changes in the use of Mediterranean environments; the response of the systems and mechanisms involved. Drawing on the training components of the University of Montpellier for its educational mission, OREME focuses on its ability to mobilize heavy and sustainable observation resources and recognized scientific and technical expertise on a wide range of aspects of the physical, chemical, and biological environment of the Mediterranean: geodesy, gravimetry, and deformation of the Earth and its surface; hydrogeological, hydric, and geophysical monitoring of aquifers, particularly karst aquifers; monitoring of the Languedoc coastline, the interface between the watershed and the marine environment, and the coastline; pollution and biological adaptability downstream of former mining sites; flow measurements (CO2, water, gas) and ecosystem functioning; phenology of terrestrial flora and fauna; dynamics of animal and plant communities; dynamics of model organism populations. It also houses three major regional technical platforms: GLADYS for integrated coastal studies, AETE for water pollution analysis, and the Sète Marine Station (SMEL). OREME's ongoing observation activities enable the collection and dissemination of data on environmental change at the national and international levels, as well as the conduct of fundamental and applied research.

MIVEGEC conducts integrative research on the molecular and ecological mechanisms that maintain and/or amplify the persistence and transmission of pathogens. The topics cover a broad spectrum, combining fundamental aspects of biology, genetics, ecology, and evolution of parasitic and symbiotic systems with more specific objectives of developing tools and strategies to reduce the spread of diseases in humans and animals, particularly through integrated ecosystem management and insect vector control. This places MIVEGEC at the interface between public health and the environment, biology and medicine, ecology and evolution. This research applies to various infectious models (parasites, viruses, bacteria, etc.) as well as to models that are not strictly infectious, such as cancer.

The IPSIM joint research unit seeks to elucidate the physiological mechanisms that govern plant water and mineral nutrition and their responses to abiotic stresses and climate change (water stress, salt stress, mineral deficiencies, metal toxicity, CO2, high temperatures). The programs focus on water and mineral ion transport in plants, mineral accumulation in seeds, mechanisms of perception and signaling of environmental stresses, and developmental responses to these stresses (especially in the root system). The approach is that of integrative biology, which combines molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, functional genomics, and genetics in model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) or plants of agronomic interest (corn, rice, wheat, grapevine, lupin).

Tropical plants are at the heart of the DIADE unit's research. This research aims to understand the nature and role of the mechanisms of structural and functional diversification of the tropical plant genome. Studies also focus on their diversity and population structures, as well as the mechanisms of adaptation to natural variations or anthropogenic changes.The research is mainly based on genetics, epigenetics, developmental biology, physiology, systematics, and evolution, but also incorporates other approaches such as modeling, remote sensing, ecology, etc. Studies are generally based on comparisons between model plants (rice, Arabidopsis, tomato, poplar) and species of agronomic or ecological interest (coffee trees, casuarina trees, yams, corn, palm trees, millet). The results of this research contribute to the production of fundamental knowledge, but also to the development of new strategies aimed at food security for communities in the South.
