About

The Department of Computational Biology at Institut Pasteur is a multidisciplinary community of researchers dedicated to better understanding complex biological mechanisms and systems, from bacteria to human. We conduct research in computational biology, algorithms, biostatistics, and systems biology, using large, complex, heterogeneous data. Our activities focus on the development of mathematical and statistical models, their implementation in computer programs, and highly collaborative applications.

PhD proposal: An Olfactory Pathway to Consciousness for Severe Brain-Injured Patients

Introduction Consciousness is characterised by the ability to awake and interact with our environment. This state of wakefulness promotes sensory perceptions, whether from outside (the environment) or inside (for example, memory). These perceptions are […]
