Upcoming "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" COVID-19 vaccination special on January 18

Every month, the Center for Translational Science runs a "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" session, where two doctors are invited to give a brief presentation to Institut Pasteur scientists on the diseases they are involved in treating. The doctors start by outlining one or more clinical cases, then provide a short description of the disease and conclude by looking at a series of unanswered questions that need to be addressed.

The next session will take place on Monday January 18 at 5.30pm.
 

Exclusively online on Teams via this link

Program:

•  Vaccines in clinical development – Odile Launay, Cochin Hospital

•  The impact of ethical and public health aspects on vaccine priorities and indications – Daniel Floret, Technical Committee on Vaccination

After these two presentations, Christiane Gerke will give an overview of the Institut Pasteur vaccines under development.

COVID-19 vaccines are coming! What technologies are used in the vaccines that are arriving on the market? How were clinical trials carried out in record time? What stages took place before the vaccines were brought to market? How will they be rolled out across France? Who will be given priority? What questions remain unanswered about these vaccines? What clinical trials are currently being carried out in France?
 

Odile Launay is a professor of infectious diseases at Université de Paris, coordinating physician at the Cochin-Pasteur Clinical Investigation Center (CIC) and coordinator of the i-Reivac network (Innovative Clinical Research Network in Vaccinology) and the Covireivac platform, which coordinates COVID-19 vaccine clinical research in France.

 

Daniel Floret is a professor of pediatrics at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 and deputy chair of the Technical Committee on Vaccination at the French National Health Authority (HAS), which draws up vaccine recommendations for France.
