A year ago, the bioimaging and core facility communities lost a pioneering figure whose influence was especially significant within the Institut Pasteur community. Spencer Shorte’s dedication and contributions were pivotal, particularly within the Cell Biology and Infection Department and the Technology Department.
Spencer’s extraordinary career and distinctive personality have left an enduring impact, not only at the Institut Pasteur but also within the global scientific network. His visionary and humanitarian approach to science continues to inspire many.
To honor his legacy, the Institut Pasteur’s Cell Biology & Infection Department and the Technology Department organize a symposium on January 28th, 2026. This event will bring together scientists from around the world to share their perspectives on Spencer Shorte’s enduring influence and visionary mindset. The symposium will celebrate his contributions and explore how his work continues to shape the future of scientific research.
