The "EuroMov Digital Health in Motion" research unit aims to foster the cross-fertilization of artificial intelligence, movement and health sciences to understand human behavioral plasticity in order to improve sensorimotor performance and envisage new therapeutic approaches, and to find in it a scientific metaphor, a source of inspiration for new digital approaches: automatic learning or adaptive control of complex systems, human/machine interaction and context-sensitive software systems. https://youtu.be/xaUOKgoUwYI?list=PL6WmOx60MnJe_iazdaxlxc1zC3Mx1K3Z0 This line of research on "Digital Health in Motion" ultimately aims to gain a better understanding of the etiology of human movement, considered as the level of integration of biological and cognitive phenomena, in the course of our ongoing informational exchanges with the environment.

The DMEM laboratory is a joint research unit of INRA and the University of Montpellier. We are interested in understanding the tissue, cellular and molecular mechanisms that enable skeletal muscle to develop correctly and adapt to its environment. Our hypothesis is that abnormalities in muscle tissue adaptation to environmental changes (diet, level of physical activity) can modulate body homeostasis and, more broadly, health status. DMEM is therefore a fundamental research unit whose aim is to advance our knowledge of skeletal muscle function and physiology. We are also open to the possible applications of our research, as demonstrated by our partnerships with private companies interested in our results.

The overall aim of the CBS is to carry out research at the cutting edge of structural biology, biophysics and bioengineering to identify and characterize the fundamental mechanisms of life and their regulation, at different scales of time and space (from single molecules to living tissues and organisms) and using integrative approaches. We are particularly interested in understanding the molecular and physical determinants of these processes, using state-of-the-art methodologies. We believe that the answer to these objectives involves the study of the structure and dynamics of supramolecular assemblies at different scales, as well as a detailed understanding of their assembly and regulation mechanisms. In addition, our ambition is to study these processes in more integrated contexts such as living cells or model organisms. Where possible, we also exploit this knowledge to design new therapeutic strategies for human health and disease.

Our project focuses on biocommunication between the cardiovascular/renal axis and metabolic tissues, in the complex pathophysiological context of metabolic syndrome. Our work aims to better characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the damage to different target tissues (cardiovascular and metabolic) during metabolic dysfunction, as well as the biocommunication pathways between these tissues. Thanks to 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 of agro-ecosystems and plants. These interactions, which determine plant health, growth and productivity, are often poorly understood. UMR PHIM generates knowledge and solutions to improve plant health, productivity and quality. PHIM uses 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 crop plot.

OREME focuses its scientific activities on natural hazards and the impact of global and anthropogenic changes on the Mediterranean area, thanks to the scientific and technical skills of its partners in geosciences, hydrosciences, biodiversity sciences and ecology. Its mission is: to support the development of systematic observation activities in the sciences of the universe and the environment; to support the construction of open, shared, internationally referenced environmental databases; to encourage the pooling of analytical resources (observation, experimentation, modelling) and know-how; to act as a local relay for national observation networks, and to position itself as a key player in environmental actions focused on the Mediterranean. OREME focuses on 3 fundamental issues: 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; and the response of the systems and mechanisms involved. Relying on the training components of the University of Montpellier for its teaching mission, OREME focuses on its ability to mobilize heavy, long-term observation resources and recognized scientific and technical skills in a wide range of aspects of the Mediterranean physical, chemical and biological environment: geodesy, gravimetry and deformation of the Earth and its surface; hydrogeological, hydric and geophysical monitoring of aquifers, particularly karstic; monitoring of the Languedoc coastline, interface between watershed and marine space, 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; population dynamics of model organisms. It is also home to three major regional technical platforms: GLADYS for integrated coastal studies, AETE for water pollution analysis, and the Station Marine de Sète (SMEL). OREME's permanent observation facilities enable data on environmental change to be collected and disseminated nationally and internationally, as well as enabling fundamental and applied research to be carried out.

MIVEGEC develops integrative research on the molecular and ecological mechanisms that maintain and/or amplify the maintenance and transmission of pathogenic agents. The research topics cover a broad spectrum, combining fundamental aspects of biology, genetics, ecology and evolution of parasitic and symbiotic systems, with the more specific objectives of developing tools and strategies to reduce the spread of disease in humans and animals, notably 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 non-infectious models such as cancer.

ISEM's research focuses on the origins and dynamics of biodiversity, as well as the modalities and mechanisms of its evolution. The unit's researchers are interested in both current and past biodiversity, studying a wide range of organisms and environments, and combining field, experimental and theoretical approaches. This research integrates: the fundamental questions of evolutionary biology (adaptation, constraints, speciation, etc.) to understand the mechanisms at work in organisms.) to understand the mechanisms at the origin of biodiversity, its structuring and functioning; the acceleration of data production resources and the capacity to apprehend the different structural and functional dimensions of living organisms (from gene to ecosystem), leading to a global understanding of the mechanisms at the origin of biodiversity; scientific and societal questioning of the responses of biodiversity (organisms and/or communities) to global and anthropogenic changes.

The UMR IPSIM seeks to elucidate the physiological mechanisms governing hydromineral nutrition in plants and their responses to abiotic constraints and climate change (water stress, salt stress, mineral deficiencies, metal toxicity, CO2, high temperatures). Programs focus on water and mineral ion transport in plants, mineral accumulation in seeds, environmental stress perception and signalling mechanisms, and developmental responses to these stresses (especially root systems). The approach is that of integrative biology, combining molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, functional genomics and genetics, on model plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) or plants of agronomic interest (maize, rice, wheat, grapevine, lupin).
