Exhibition in honor of Jules Bordet

• Exhibition until March 25 in the Salle des Actes

An exhibition on the life and scientific achievements of Jules Bordet, organized by the Pasteur Museum and the Scientific Information Resources Center (CeRIS), will be on display until March 25 in the Salle des Actes.

The exhibition, developed in partnership with the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), shows how Jules Bordet, a young medical graduate from the ULB who was working in Ilya Mechnikov's laboratory at the Institut Pasteur, discovered the importance of humoral immunity in the body's defenses against infectious diseases, via an experimental approach drawing on physiology, chemistry and microbiology. Visitors will see how Bordet's scientific achievements continue to influence immunology and microbiology today.

• Visiting the exhibition:

Institut Pasteur staff and their guests are free to visit the exhibition from Monday to Friday, any time from 1 to 3pm.
