Imaging the Immune System, September 19-21, 2018

Immune responses are highly coordinated processes that take place in complex tissue microenvironments. The continuous progress in imaging methodologies offers tremendous insight into the spatiotemporal activity of the immune system in physiological settings and during disease pathogenesis. The aim of this meeting is to share the latest findings in immune cell dynamics at the molecular, cellular and tissue-level and exchange on the newest technical developments for visualizing and manipulating immune processes.

Modeling the Mammalian Microbiota Host Superorganism, Current Tools and Challenges, October 15-16, 2018

Institut Pasteur and INFRAFRONTIER 2020 organize the meeting 'Modeling the Mammalian-Microbiota Host Superorganism: current tools and challenges', which will take place at the Institut Pasteur campus (Paris) on October 15th and 16th, 2018. This congress aims to discuss recent advances on the modeling of microbiota ecosystems, focusing on the use of different animal host models, the microbial humanization of these animal models and models of microbiota-dependent pathogenesis, together with their impact on diagnostics and therapeutic medicine.
Leaders in the field as well as representatives of major industrial actors will attend. Additionally, this meeting can be recognized by your respective animal welfare officers and provide continuing education credits.

Combating resistance: microbes and vectors, 2018 Institut Pasteur International Network Symposium, 15 et 16 novembre 2018

Today, the emergence and spread of treatment-resistant pathogens is a serious health threat in all countries. Futhermore, after years of use of insecticides, the appearance of resistant vectors – in particular mosquitos – is jeopardizing the success of control strategies. A high-level forum, the 2018 edition of the Institut Pasteur International Network Symposium will foster multidisciplinary dialogue and exchanges between scientists of all backgrounds and representatives from international institutions involved in these major public health issues.
