Our International Scientific Programs
Key point
- International programs concretely translate the scientific priorities of the Institut Pasteur in the field, through research projects, capacity building, and networking.
Scientific Priority 1: Infectious Disease Threats
Structuring a genomic surveillance network for emerging and re-emerging pathogens across 13 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Establish a collaborative research network between France and Brazil focused on infectious diseases.
Anticipating outbreaks through the wastewater surveillance
Establishing a regional surveillance network for antibiotic resistance to better target containment strategies against antimicrobial resistance. Building a regional network to target and combat antimicrobial resistance focusing on Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
ASIDE Project aimed to strengthen the public health capacity of 6 partner countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia to prevent, detect, report and respond to health emergencies of international concern.
Scientific Priority 2 : Environmental Transitions & Health
Scientific Priority 3: Origins of diseases
Scientific Priority 4: Health & Diseases at the extremes of life
Enhancing the healthcare pathway and strengthening capacities for the diagnosis and management of children with genetic diseases resulting from consanguinity, while studying the motivations and beliefs of populations surrounding consanguineous marriages.
Primary Immune Deficiency diseases (PIDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of over 300 diseases in which a genetic defect of the immune system leads to an increased susceptibility to infections, sometimes jeopardizing the vital prognosis. The ATun-DIP project aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Malnutrition is a leading cause of child morbidity and mortality in low-income countries. The state of malnutrition is maintained by a chronic inflammation of the intestine observed in a large proportion of children living in unsanitary conditions. This syndrome called pediatric environmental enteropathy has so far been poorly studied. The Afribiota project aimed to better characterize this syndrome to develop diagnostic tools and ultimately treatments.
Identifying locally adapted and sustainable strategies to improve hepatitis B vaccination coverage at birth.
The project aimed to estimate the duration of protection provided by different pertussis vaccines, based on a single study of pertussis conducted in three regions of the world.
Documenting neonatal infections and antibiotic resistance in low-income countries.
