Two Institut Pasteur scientists elected as new members of Academia Europaea

Academia Europaea was set up in 1988 in Cambridge as a European non-governmental association for the promotion of education and research. It currently has nearly 3,500 expert members from 35 European countries and 8 non-European countries specializing in a wide variety of fields including social science, medicine, economics, law, literature and mathematics.

Two Institut Pasteur scientists were elected as new members of Academia Europaea in recognition of their achievements and their respective contributions to European research: Javier Pizarro-Cerda, Head of the Yersinia Unit and Marc Lecuit, Head of the Biology of Infection Unit.
