The intestinal microbiota is considered to be a major reservoir of antibiotic resistance determinants (ARDs) that could potentially be transferred to bacterial pathogens via mobile genetic elements. Yet, this assumption is poorly supported by […]

Two of the major objectives in Biology are understanding the function of complex systems and unraveling the molecular mechanisms by which such functions are achieved. Historically, we have been accustomed to – and […]
Freddy Frischknecht –Center for Infectious Diseases – Heidelberg University – Germany The talk with show a mix of genetic and imaging studies that reveal how Plasmodia use their microtubules for formation of sporozoites in […]
When we study evolution of a species, we use different models, depending on what we want to achieve or infer. We might restrict to SNP variation in the “core genome” (presumably inherited vertically) to study […]

We are very pleased to announce the 11th “NMR: a tool for Biology” conference. This event, jointly organized by Institut Pasteur and Bruker Biospin, will be held at Institut Pasteur in Paris. This conference […]
DIM ELICIT DAY EMPOWERING LIFE SCIENCES WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES DIM ELICIT “Empowering LIfe sCiences with Innovative Technologies” is co-leaded by the Institut Pierre Gilles de Gennes for microfluidics and the Institut Pasteur. It has […]
Based on proteomics, functional and structural data, it is likely that most, if not all, neurotransmitter receptors interact with protein partners across the synaptic cleft. We have recently published the structural and functional investigation […]
Imaris presentation and training. The Image Analysis Hub of the Institut Pasteur (https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/image-analysis-hub/) and Georgia Golfis from Bitplane (http://www.bitplane.com/), organize a day dedicated to a hands-on introduction to Imaris (http://www.bitplane.com/imaris/imaris). Imaris is a commercial […]
Matrix factorization/completion methods provide an attractive framework to handle sparsely observed data, also called “scarce” data. A typical setting for scarce data are is clinical diagnosis in a real-world setting. Not all possible symptoms […]
The antibody response and the complement system are major effector arms of the immune system. Both have been involved in a plethora of pathological conditions, including autoimmunity, allergy, infections and cancer. Antibodies and complement […]
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations allow complex phenomena to be studied at a unique spatial and temporal resolution. While conventional simulations provide insights into processes that occur on short time scales, the study of rare […]
Albert DESCOTEAUX – INRS – Institut Armand-Frappier (Laval, Canada) To colonize phagocytes, Leishmania subverts microbicidal processes through components of its surface coat that include lipophosphoglycan and the metalloprotease GP63. To exert their action, these […]
