About
The Institut Pasteur has voluminous activities of microbial strain characterisation, in the context of epidemiological surveillance, biological resource centres collections management, and research. These activities involve National Reference Centers, WHO-collaborative centers, biological resources centers and other microbiological expertise laboratories, together with the Hub for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics and the ‘Pole de Microbiologie Mutualisée’ (P2M, Mutualized Platform for Microbiology) core facility.
In this long-term institutional project, we implement and maintain fast data treatment pipelines, and develop innovative pathogen genotyping strategies (e.g., core genome multi locus sequence typing – cgMLST) and automated methods to extract medically relevant information from genomic sequences (species identification, resistome, virulome).
