Save the date for the event "Autism: what can we learn from research?" – March 30, 2019 in the CIS

On March 30, the Institut Pasteur will be hosting an event entitled "Autism: what can we learn from research?", attended by Erik Orsenna, Ambassador for the Institut Pasteur.

This day, organized on the initiative of Thomas Bourgeron, Head of the Human Genetics and Cognitive Functions Unit at the Institut Pasteur, and his team, will be an opportunity for the general public, and especially patients and their families, to meet the scientists and clinicians involved at various levels in work to understand and tackle autism.

The latest research and discoveries about autism produced as a result of cooperation between scientists at the Institut Pasteur, child psychiatrists at Robert Debré hospital, and more broadly French and European partners (FondaMental Foundation and AIMS-2-Trials) will be presented. The aim of this research is to improve understanding of the genetic bases of autism and identify targets for new treatments.

Following the presentations, the scientists and clinicians will be available to answer questions from those attending the day.

This event is open to Pasteurians. Enrolment is obligatory, but free for everyone (yourself, your family and your friends). Please confirm your attendance by signing up by March 22, 2019 at the latest (spaces are limited). For access you will need your badge and proof or identity for you and your guests.
