Research themes and origin Nowadays, biology is a computational science with multiple applications, notably in healthcare. The Department of Computational Biology processes Institut Pasteur campus data on a large scale, while also providing its […]
The Global Health Department develops an interdisciplinary approach to study Global Public Health issues. We have to consider health in its context: human, animal and environmental health which interplay with each other and form […]
The Mycology Department at Institut Pasteur studies yeasts and filamentous fungi responsible for fungal infections in humans. Multidisciplinary approaches are used to explore the biology of fungal pathogens and fungal pathogenesis, with the aim […]
The Neuroscience Department is a basic research department with a diverse portfolio of research programs and approaches ideally suited for the 21st century challenge of understanding normal and diseased brain function. The Department provides […]
The department’s primary goal is to study the interface between microorganisms, cells and tissues. The Cell Biology and Infection Department is chaired by Marc Lecuit. To understand infection mechanisms we need to explore in […]
The Virology Department is constituted by 21 principal investigators with their research units, covering most aspects of contemporary virology with a special emphasis on human pathogenic viruses. The department houses different National Reference Centres […]
Immune responses are highly coordinated processes that develop within complex tissue microenvironments. The research in our Department aims to uncover novel mechanisms regulating the development and functions of the immune system with the objective […]
The Parasites and Insect Vectors Department investigates the life cycle of parasites and their vectors. This research addresses global public health concerns and tackles the ongoing need for better prevention, control, and treatment. The department […]
The teams of the department Genomes & Genetics are interested by questions related to gene regulation and evolutionary dynamics, including: Replication fidelity. Quality control of gene expression. Genetic diversity of populations and its impact […]
The scientists, engineers, technicians, students and postdoctoral fellows in the Structural Biology and Chemistry Department study complex biological systems through a range of integrated approaches. We use observational techniques, experimentation and cutting-edge tools to […]
Besides their major role in many infectious diseases, bacteria also serve as models to understand fundamental biological mechanisms. The research performed in the Department of Microbiology mainly focuses on the molecular characterization of functions […]
Developmental biology first made its appearance in the Pasteur Institute when François Jacob and François Gros with their colleagues became interested in extending their pioneering work on messenger RNA in bacteria to gene regulation […]
