Protecting health by understanding risks
Pathogenic microbes, genetics, the environment, or the microbiome: dive into the heart of our medical research to understand how we’re safeguarding the health of tomorrow.
From microbes to diseases
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites… Find out what microbes are, how they can turn pathogenic, and what action the Institut Pasteur is taking to protect your health.
Non-communicable diseases: a multifactorial field of research
They account for 43 million deaths every year, inflicting a heavier toll than wars and outbreaks. Non-communicable diseases are now the number one cause of death worldwide, an upward trend that shows no signs of slowing.
Our approaches to research on key medical issues

We take a holistic approach to our research, which includes efforts to shed light on infectious and chronic diseases, explore novel, as yet under-investigated avenues of research, and discover real-world solutions for patients. Since 1888, our scientists have been working tirelessly to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
