Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
The Institut Pasteur is delighted to offer all Institut Pasteur staff currently working on campus (employees, Orex, interns and guest researchers) a copy of the book "Institut Pasteur, recherche d'aujourd'hui, médecine de demain"/"Institut Pasteur: Today's Research, Tomorrow's Medicine", published by Editions de La Martinière/Abrams. This illustrated volume, accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds, outlines the major challenges and medical issues facing the Institut Pasteur and its International Network.
To mark the 130th anniversary of the Institut Pasteur, TV viewers have been able to find out more about the multiple facets that make up the institution's unique identity...
This new software for submitting and tracking applications for external funding will replace the previous funding request management tool (BPM).
There are over a hundred mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue – which affects over 50 million people each year – and chikungunya. These are arboviruses, in other words viruses that are transmitted between vertebrates via a bite from a hematophagous vector.
This unique system in Madagascar and the Indian Ocean is a census tool to obtain reliable demographic and health data.
From March 19 to 23, the Institut Pasteur will be offering an "Introduction to R" training course. The aim is to present the R programming language, especially how to import, manipulate and export your data. The course will also show you how to describe data using basic statistics and graphs.
• Focus on: Launch of the 2018 call for proposals by the ELICIT DIM ("Empowering Life Sciences with Innovative Technologies" Field of Major Interest)
The ELICIT DIM is launching its 2018 call for proposals. The 2018 call is designed to support collaborative interdisciplinary research projects:
- first applications of new technologies or innovative instruments for Biology;
- implementation of disruptive technologies in Biology, the disruptive criteria being assessed regarding the impact and the transformative nature;
- integration in the SME and industrial value-added chain, in particular in Ile-de-France, in the area of Technologies for Life Sciences (including start-up creation).
The aim of the call is to allow large-scale achievements in Life Sciences research and to enable the emergence of innovations able to address at mid-term the market of instruments and technologies for Life Sciences.
Applications should involve collaborations between:
- A group of research working on the creation of instruments (detection, characterization, observation, methodologies, etc.).
- One or more research group(s) working on applied Biology.
On December 15, 2016, the Île-de-France (Greater Paris) region adopted the accreditation of its new Fields of Major Interest (DIMs) for the 2017-2020 period.
ELICIT (Empowering Life Sciences with Innovative Technologies), jointly coordinated by the Pierre-Gilles-de-Gennes Institute for Microfluidics (IPGG, Patrick Tabeling) and the Institut Pasteur Technological Innovation and Research Center (Citech), is one of the 15 selected projects. The consortium also comprises the ESPCI ParisTech engineering school, including the Langevin Institute, the Institut Curie, the École Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris V University, École Polytechnique, and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
