National Initiatives
ANR program Bimod.
This ANR program, coordinated by V. Volpert (Lyon), involves 3 partners: CNRS (Institut Camille Jordan) in Lyon (V. Volpert), University Bordeaux II (P. Magal) and INRIA (Bang project-team and DISCO team, Saclay IdF). It associates PDE models, both spatial and physiologically structured, with individual-based models in hybrid models to represent cancer growth (leukaemia and colorectal cancer) and therapy. It has been granted for 4 years, beginning in December 2010.
ANR TOPPAZ
(http://www-roc.inria.fr/bang/TOPPAZ/index.html )
TOPPAZ (Theory and Observations of Polymerisation processes in Prion and Alzheimer diseases) is a 3-year (2009-2012) research project financed by ANR grant “programme blanc” and headed by Marie Doumic-Jauffret.
It involves two teams, a mathematical and numerical team (B. Perthame, V. Calvez, P. Gabriel, T. Lepoutre, P. Michel, and a team in Brazil headed by J. Zubelli) and a biophysicist team headed by H. Rezaei. It has allowed to finance the post-doctoral contract of F. Charles and the 1-year grant of L. M. Tine.
The general goal is to develop new mathematical and numerical tools for polymerisation processes, in a strong link with experimentalists and with direct application to experimental data designed by the biologists' team. The achievements of ANR TOPPAZ are described in Sections 6.1.4 and 6.1.5 .
ARC Nautilus

ANR METHODE
Participation in the ANR project “METHODE” (Modélisation de l'Ecoulement sur une Topographie avec des Hétérogénéités Orientées et des Différences d'Echelles / Modelling of the flow on a topography with oriented heterogeneities and different scales) in collaboration with Orléans University, BRGM, CEMAGREF, CERMICS, INRA.
ANR Sine2Arti
Participation in the ANR project Sine2Arti. The project considers tissue homeostasis and cell reprogramming.
ANR PhysCancer
Participation in the ANR project Physics of Cancer. The project studies the impact of a constraining extracellular material on the growth and division of cells and cellular aggregates.
GDR DarEvCan
The GDR DarEvCan, for Darwinian Evolution and Cancer, is a interdisciplinary consortium which associates 10 teams in France around the theme of evolution and cancer, in particular evolution of cancer cell populations towards drug resistance. It has held its first national meeting in December in Paris. The Bang team takes an active part in its development.
