Upcoming Pasteur Quarter-Hour: "Eliminating chronic viral hepatitis in Africa" on February 29 at 5pm

Following on from the Pasteur Quarter-Hour sessions that have been held since 2015, the Medical Department launched the "Pasteur-Medicine 4xQuarter-Hour," a forum for discussion during which people from different backgrounds and with a range of experience (physicians, scientists, epidemiologists, CNR experts, etc.) come together to share their complementary views on a subject of interest for Institut Pasteur staff and also for partner colleagues from other institutes.

At the beginning of this new year, the first topic will be "Eliminating chronic viral hepatitis in Africa." The speakers will present recent examples of patients treated, diagnosis, alerts, and exploratory or applied research programs.

The event will take place on Thursday February 29, 2024 from 5 to 6pm in the François Jacob auditorium or on Teams:
