When do neural stem cells activate in an adult brain? To better understand how these rare events occur and are coordinated, we developed an innovative in vivo intravital imaging of an adult zebrafish brain […]
Cyanobacterial blooms can modify the dynamic of aquatic ecosystems and have harmful consequences for human activities. Moreover, cyanobacteria can produce a variety of cyanotoxins, including microcystins, but little is known about the role of […]
Eva Frickel –The Francis Crick Institute, Host-Toxoplasma Interaction Laboratory, London, GB The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects a broad range of hosts, with a seroprevalence in man of about 30 percent. It is unclear how Toxoplasma maintains the […]
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 […]
This two-week course offers theoretical lectures, research examples, and hands-on computer training focused on concepts and tools used in the study of human population genomics and genetic epidemiology. The practical training, which includes computer […]
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. Registration on: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/human-population-and-evolutionary-genetics/ Know the diploma online […]
In this presentation, Professor Hedda Wardemann will describe how we study the clonal evolution of B and T cell responses to Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP) at cellular and monoclonal antigen-receptor level to guide […]
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 […]
