My main goal is to understand how experience and sensory perception shape brain circuits to trigger behaviour. To tackle these questions, I implement different technical tools including a combination of behavioral analysis, viral vector […]
The emergence of discrete cell identities from undifferentiated precursor cells is a central process in development and tissue homeostasis and repair, that when defective is at the basis of many human conditions including cancer […]
After a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon-I in 1995, Dr Aziz El-Amraoui joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris) where resorting to dozen identified deafness genes as entry points has enabled him to […]
Since the beginning of my career, my goal has been to understand the mechanisms of effector immune responses to viruses and the related viral countermeasures. During my thesis, I studied the origin of type […]
Dr. Gerald Späth currently holds a Research Director position at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where he directs the Unit ‘Parasitologie moléculaire et Signalisation’ (12 members) and the Department ‘Parasites and Insect Vectors’ (ca. […]
Pascale Pescher is a research engineer in the unit ‘Parasitologie moléculaire et signalisation’. She started her career working on host-mycobacteria interactions and since 2006 joined the field of Leishmania research studying the molecular basis […]
From 2001 to 2005 I did my Ph.D in Montpellier (South of France) at the Institut of Functional Genomic. I worked on Drosophila melanogaster and I characterized a new G-Protein Coupled Receptor, only found […]
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 […]
