Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
The Institut Pasteur in Paris and its International Network of 32 institutes have been extremely active worldwide in responding with science to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Its response currently involves a lot of people at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and several teams in the network in other countries. A coronavirus task force was set up by the Institut Pasteur in January to coordinate COVID-19 research by its teams. The 16 initial research projects are regularly enriched by additional projects supported by the Task Force. Since the publication of the March 27th BIP, the SARS-CoV-2 project THERAMAB was added to the list of existing projects, a list which will soon grow to include 25 projects.
The 17 projects fall into six broad research fields:
Knowledge of the virus and its pathogenesis
Development of research tools
Development of diagnostic tests
Therapeutic research
Vaccine candidates
Epidemiological research
