Because of the work to restore and renovate the historical building that houses the Pasteur Museum, the Institut Pasteur offered to loan the three portraits of the Pasteur family produced by Jean-Jacques Henner in the late 1870s to the Jean-Jacques Henner museum. To showcase this loan, the Henner museum is hosting a special exhibition from November 15 to March 3, 2024, that explores the relationship between the scientist and the painter. -
Gaston Ramon (1886-1963)

Photo report from the National Reference Center for Invasive Mycoses and Antifungals in September 2023. -
40 years of HIV discovery
In 1983, HIV -the virus responsible for AIDS- was isolated by virologists from the Institut Pasteur. A first observation with a microscope in February was confirmed in May 83 by a publication in Science, the prestigious scientific journal. The revelation of a retrovirus will gradually change the beliefs around this disease. -
Ticks
There are around 900 recorded species of ticks worldwide and more than 40 in France alone. On the whole, the public is relatively unfamiliar with these blood-sucking ectoparasites (external parasites). Although most ticks are harmless for humans, several species, primarily those in the Ixodes and Dermacentor genera in France, can transmit zoonotic pathogens. -

Alphonse Laveran (1845-1922)
Alphonse Laveran was France’s first Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine. He discovered the parasite that causes malaria. -
Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
On Friday, January 24, 2020, the National Reference Center for Respiratory Infections Virus (including influenza) confirmed the first three cases of patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus on French territory. From these samples, the researchers were able to start sequencing the viral genome and have the complete sequence by Wednesday, January 29, allowing it to be compared with the twenty or so other sequences present in the world. -
Artists against coronavirus
Since the beginning of the COVID19 crisis, the artists of the Organoid project have wished to contribute to the surge of generosity intended to support the Pasteur Institute in its commitment to fight against COVID19. -
BCG vaccine
July 2021 marks the hundredth anniversary of the first vaccination of an infant with the BCG vaccine. Although tuberculosis is still one of the ten leading causes of mortality worldwide, this vaccine, developed at the Institut Pasteur, led to a steep reduction in the number of cases. -
Institut de l'audition
A center for basic and translational neuroscience research in the field of hearing,
set up at the initiative of the Fondation Pour l'Audition and the Institut Pasteur. -
Cell death and epithelial homeostasis
The laboratory "Cell death and epithelial homeostasis" is generally interested by the plasticity of cell behavior and more specifically by the adjustment and regulation of cell death in epitheliums.
The lab use the fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster) model through a combination of genetics, live imaging, quantitative image analysis, optogenetics and biophysics. -
Jules Bordet (1870-1961)
In 1919 Jules Bordet was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the role of antibodies and the complement system. Jules Bordet’s discoveries expanded early 20th century knowledge of immunology considerably. -
CNS and rabies virus
Investigation of the role of neuronal, microglial and glial cells during rabies virus infection in the modulation oh the innate immune response. -
Monkeypox virus in Central African Republic.
Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease; primary infections are reported from remote forest areas of Central and West Africa. Monkeypox is a lethal pathology in 1 to 10% of cases in the Central African Republic where epidemics of Monkeypox are recurrent in certain regions of the country. -
Early Shigella Invasion
Imaging the early entry events of Shigella into host cells.
The unit “Dynamics of host pathogen-interactions” develops novel approaches to investigate the interactions between pathogens and their hosts in single cells in real time. -

AFRIBIOTA is a multi-disciplinary and international project addressing the vicious circle between malnutrition and infection. -
100th of bacteriophage research
The year 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the initiation of bacteriophage research by Félix d’Herelle at Institut Pasteur. -
Drosophila melanogaster - Fruit flies
Research in the lab "Viruses and RNA Interference" aims to understand the virus-insect relationship.
The lab use the fruit flies model that have the same immune system as mosquitoes but are easier to handle and cultivate and universally accepted as a model system for studying insect immunity. -

Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916)
This year, the Institut Pasteur is celebrating the centenary of the death of Elie Metchnikoff, a leading figure in the history of the Institut Pasteur and the scientist responsible for discovering phagocytosis and cell immunity. Elie Metchnikoff, laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for his work on immunity, was a visionary and genius who left a rich scientific legacy in several research fields including embryonic development, infectious diseases, gut flora and aging. -
Zika outbreak
The Zika virus is a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. It is widespread in Asia and Africa and has recently emerged in Central and South America. The disease caused by the virus develops 3 to 12 days after the vector insect bite and symptoms (which resemble those of the dengue virus or chikungunya, also spread by the same mosquito) include fever, headaches, skin rash, tiredness, and muscle and joint pain. -
AFRIBIOTA: Fighting childhood malnutrition
Reportage at the nutritional center in the area 67 ha, Antananarivo (Madagascar).
