The Institut Pasteur is an internationally renowned center for biomedical research that stands out in many disciplines. By deciphering the fundamental mechanisms of living organisms, its researchers contribute to the advancement of knowledge that leads to cutting-edge medical applications, ultimately improving public health.
Christophe D’Enfert,
Scientific Director
of the Institut Pasteur
Contributing to the development of novel diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic approaches to diseases has been fundamental to the Institut Pasteur's missions since its inception more than 130 years ago. Emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, neurodegenerative and behavioral diseases, and cancer research have been placed at the heart of our development strategy for the coming years. Finding solutions to these health issues requires cutting-edge basic research, but also a commitment to translating our discoveries into innovations for patients, in conjunction with hospitals and industry. At the Institut Pasteur, we provide a favorable technological environment to enable our teams of talented researchers to contribute as fully as possible to tomorrow’s fundamental discoveries and biomedical innovations.
Shedding light on the intricate workings of microbes and cells is the focus of research conducted in this department.
We live at a time when biology is producing vast reams of data, which can only be deciphered using mathematical modeling
How do cells acquire their identity? How are organs formed? Little is known about the mechanisms behind the “development” of animals, including human beings.
Exploring the genomes of bacteria, yeast, insect vectors and ultimately humans.
The main objectives of the interdisciplinary Department of Global Health are to study infectious diseases and tackle the emergence of new pathogens.
The complexity of the immune system is a never-ending source of fascination for scientists.
Bacteria have always been important research models at the Institut Pasteur.
Parasitic diseases are all too often neglected. However, they affect close to 3 billion people in the world.
Observing life at atomic level because chemistry is the motor of life.
Facilitating new biomedical projects and contributing to the advancement of medicine – these are the missions of the Center for Translational Science, set up in 2014.
The Center for Technological Resources and Research (C2RT) is home to four Technology and Service Units (UTechS) and 12 Technological Platforms.
At Institut Pasteur, we provide our research groups with the necessary infrastructure to use animal models in the best ethical and regulatory conditions.
A center for fundamental and medical research into hearing, created by the Fondation Pour l'Audition and the Institut Pasteur.
