State of the art and project Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) have given rise to new powerful bioanalytical imaging techniques that are increasingly used in pharmacological and clinical research, as well as in environmental sciences and biotechnologies. In particular, FPs are widely used as genetically encoded biosensors to image and quantify biochemical activities in living cells. [1-4] They can be classified in three categories (For a complete review on FP based biosensors see [4]). The first one takes advantage of the intrinsic sensitivity of the FP’s photophysical property to a physico- chemical parameter or an ion concentration. For example, we recently exploit the pH sensitivity of the cyan ECFP to monitor the intragranular pH of secretory granules in chromaffin cells by fluorescence lifetime imaging or FLIM (Fig1A). [5,6] In the second category, the FP is fused with a sensor module. When the latter is modified by the binding of a metabolite or an enzymatic activity, its conformation changes and modulates the fluorescence of the nearby FP. The third and last group is based on Förster Resonant Energy Transfer or FRET between two FPs grafted around a sensing module whose conformation controls the FRET efficiency (Fig 1B). More than 60 % of FRET based biosensors use cyan and yellow variants. If in the first category, the calibrated responses of FPs may be used to monitor specific parameters, the other cases require FPs with fully controlled photophysical response to any changes in their environment in order to avoid any misinterpretation of the fluorescence signals. To achieve this goal, we recently genetically engineered a new bright cyan fluorescent protein variant mainly insensitive to its environment called Aquamarine. This FP  has a fluorescence quantum yield close to 90%, an impressive pH stability (pK1/2 = 3,3) and a near- single exponential fluorescence decay.[7-9] This result was obtained with only two single point mutations (65S and 148G) on the genuine ECFP. Aquamarine was introduced with a great success in a cAMP-dependant kinase sensor to produce an efficient FRET based biosensor (Fig1B).[7]  Figure 1. A.

(right) From top to bottom: intensity image of the cell and ROI used to calculate the average ratio plotted on the left, ratio images corresponding to the points a, b and c on the F535/F480 trace. Based on our previous work the aim of the project will be to (i) complete the improvements performed on Aquamarine by optimizing its resistance to photobleaching and/or (ii) develop new FRET based biosensors taking advantage of its amazing properties for calcium, reactive oxygen species or cAMP-dependant kinase activity. The detailed working plan of the PhD project will depend on the skills and the interests of the candidate. He/she will have either a strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry or a deep knowledge in photophysics and fluorescence spectroscopy. Some expertise in cell biology or optical microscopy will also be appreciated. In addition, the candidate should also show interest for working in a multidisciplinary atmosphere as the project will be performed in close collaboration with cell biologists (Pr. Oliver Nüsse at UPSud, Orsay, Dr. Pierre Vincent at UPMC, Paris or Dr. Catherine Berthomieu at CEA). References 1. De Michele R, Carimi F, Frommer WB (2014) Mitochondrial biosensors.
