Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) develop in rare HIV-1 infected humans, and neutralize a large panel of viral quasi-species. Over the past decade, hundreds of bNAbs have been isolated, some of which can protect non-human […]
Previous works showed that bacteria encoding capsules are better colonizers and are dominant in most environments suggesting a positive role for capsules in the genetic diversification of bacteria. Yet, it has been repeatedly suggested, […]
Guillaume Dumenil, head of the unit “Pathogenesis of vascular infections”, was awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced grant for his project ‘DESTOP – Destabilizing vascular colonization to stop meningitis’. Invasive meningococcemia, caused by […]
Our project “BETinCAP” got funded by ANR! This marks the starts of a new and exciting collaboration with Nicolas Personnic’s Lab at CIRI in Lyon (https://ciri.ens-lyon.fr/teams/persist). We will study the metabolism, virulence and gene […]
Researchers from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS and Vaccine Research Institute (ANRS/Inserm)have recently shown that some effective antibodies recognize cells infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and trigger their destruction by the immune system. […]
EVALUATION OF NEW TOOLS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF HISTOPLASMOSIS (Evadiag-Histo) Aude Sturny-Leclère, Dea Garcia-Hermoso, Alexandre Alanio, Olivier Lortholary & Fanny Lanternier In Sub-Saharan Africa and West African countries histoplasmosis is rarely diagnosed probably for […]
The 8th ASM Conference on Biofilms will be held October 7 – 11, 2018, in Washington, DC. It will provide a platform to discuss the latest research, covering topics that range from diagnosis and […]

Current research in biomechanics and mechanobiology faces critical limitations to control the mechanical environment (i.e., deformation, stiffness) of biological systems. A significant limitation exists in the real-time control and remote actuation of the mechanical […]
Evolutionary trees are used in many domains, to reveal the function of genes, study the outbreak of epidemics, and set up inventories of biodiversity and its decline, among other things. Phylogenetic software programs for […]
Whereas Escherichia coli does not naturally produce the 1-propanol unless subjected to extensive genetic modifications, we show that this important industrial commodity is produced in hypoxic conditions inside biofilms. 1-propanol production corresponds to a […]
This multidisciplinary study led by Nicolas Desprat (biophysicists at ENS Paris) shows that patterns of surface bacterial colonization derive from the asymmetric (polar) distribution of adhesive factors on the bacterial cell envelop. Asymetric adhesion […]
Human genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are revealing the genetic architecture of anthropomorphic and biomedical traits, i.e., the frequencies and effect sizes of variants that contribute to heritable variation in a trait. To interpret these […]
Location: Institut Pasteur A symposium and workshop on Multimodal Data Analysis for Immunology. Symposium (April 24): Open lectures showcasing how data analysis, statistical modeling, and artificial intelligence approaches can be applied to diverse datasets […]
In collaboration with the Unit of Molecular Genetics of ARN viruses, the C3BI is organising a systems biology seminar with two scientists from Laszlo Barabasi’s laboratory : Istvan Kovacs – A leap forward in biological link […]
This talk is canceled due to Covdid 19 situation. In short: The Bacterial and Viral Complexity of Infant Postinfectious Hydrocephalus in Uganda: The largest single cause of infant hydrocephalus worldwide is neonatal sepsis We […]
