One of the major limitations in the study of complex molecular pathways is adaptation of the system to experimental perturbation. With ‘complex’ we mean pathways with a significant level of functional redundancy between components […]
The Department of Immunology has launched this summer Immunostarter, a call for seeding grants for PhD students and postdocs. The selection between the several applications was made by high profile immunologists external to Institut […]
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the main cause of respiratory infections, leading to the death of 400.000 children under the age of 5, per year, worldwide. More than 90 pneumococcal serotypes, with differences in capsular polysaccharides […]
Stephanie BLANDIN leads a group working on mosquito/pathogen interactions at the Institute for Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMC) in Strasbourg, France. Beside studying the molecular mechanisms that govern these interactions, her group also uses […]
Extracellular polysaccharides are important determinants for bacterial biofilm formation that are secreted by ill-characterized synthase-dependent systems. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and CNRS reveal that Escherichia coli secretes cellulose by a conserved multicomponent membrane-embedded […]
Highly-active anti-retroviral therapy has been extremely effective at maintaining low levels of viral load in HIV-infected individuals, but emerging drug resistance is threatening those gains. When therapy is interrupted even briefly, HIV can evolve […]
‘A tale of two viral lineages : evolution of viruses and the cellular universal tree of life Anthony WOO / Unit : Molecular Biology of Genes in Extremophiles headed by Patrick Forterre Over the […]
Aaron JEX – Walter & Eliza Hall Institute, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, Melbourne University (Parkville – Australie) Abstract: This seminar presents a transcriptomic, proteomic and histone epigenetic investigation of the sporozoite stage […]
This Mooc aims to provide basic knowledge on population genetics and the help of genetics in the study of human migrations and human adaptation to extreme conditions. At the end of this course, […]
Abstract: Most studies of bacterial genetic diversity have focused on the metrics of SNPs and gene content. However, other types of genetic diversity exist, but are poorly studied, including genome arrangement and copy number […]
The next series of the Paris Postdoc Seminar Series at Institut Pasteur will take place Tuesday, 19th December 2023, at 11h30 in the Agnes Ullman Amphitheatre (Monod Building). PhD students and Postdocs are welcome […]
The emergence of new display technologies, analyses and data types encourages the need within scientific and medical communities to streamline the interpretation of multidimensional visual data such as point clouds (\eg localization microscopy, single-particle […]
Friday 30th September — at 12.00 pm — Salle Monod (Bât.66) Invited Speaker : Professor Denise Montell From Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology – University of California Hosted by Philippe Herbomel Abstract : My […]
Genetic mutations in the gene Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1) cause autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA), one of the most common forms of mitochondrial disease where mitochondria are fragmented in small vesicles. While most of […]
Competition between lysogenic and sensitive bacteria is determined by the fitness costs of the different emerging phage-resistance strategies eLife 12:e83479. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.83479 Rendueles, O., De Sousa, J. and Rocha, E. Microbial community dynamics are deeply […]
In two companion papers published in Cell Reports (27601299) and Genes & Development (27798842), the Deriano lab at the Institut Pasteur Paris and the Jackson lab at the University of Cambridge UK reveal the […]
