carnot_1105_icsa.gif Following on from the success of previous calls for proposals, and with the aim of developing their cooperation and strengthening their synergies, the Carnot Institute for Animal Health (ICSA) and the Pasteur Infectious Diseases (PMI) Carnot Institute are launching their third consecutive joint call for proposals in 2016 in the fields of (i) infectious diseases mediated by viruses, bacteria, parasites or prions, and (ii) dysbiosis of the gut microbiota (intestinal, respiratory, vaginal or cutaneous) and its impact on health (infectious and non-infectious diseases, inflammatory and metabolic diseases, etc.).

It is hoped that the projects will lead to larger-scale partnerships in the future.
