The Neuroscience Department has a very strong basic science research component, with a diverse portfolio of research programs and approaches. This is an ideal basis for the 21st-century challenge of understanding normal and diseased […]
The Department of Cell Biology and Infection develops an integrated approach to study the basic mechanisms underlying cell physiology during infection by various microbes and in other pathologies such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. […]
The Department’s research aims at understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying viral infections and their associated diseases. In the mean time, teams are developping innovative tools for virus discovery, diagnostics , therapeutics & vaccinology. A […]
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 at Institut Pasteur when François Jacob, François Gros and their colleagues extended their pioneering work on mRNA in bacteria to gene regulation in eukaryotic systems. This led to […]
