Come along to the 2019 Conference for Young Researchers on May 22

This year, for the ninth year in a row, the Institut Pasteur hosted several young scientists as part of the "Young Researchers" program. This scientific outreach initiative, led by the Arbre des Connaissances organization, offers school students the chance to be partnered by experienced scientists for hands-on sessions in the Institut Pasteur's laboratories. Four student pairs from the Georges Duhamel and Jacques Decour schools in Paris were partnered by scientists in four laboratories this year.

To conclude this hands-on introduction to science, the Conference for Young Researchers will be held on the Institut Pasteur campus on May 22. At the event, the students will speak about their experiences and receive a certificate. They will have the opportunity to explore the field of virology, including topics such as "DNA production for the development of tuberculosis vaccine candidates", "Is susceptibility to Zika virus infection influenced by the proliferation of the virus in cells?", "Research and lysozymes" and "Molecular cloning of a polymerase region of the rabies virus".

The conference will take place in the Jacques Monod lecture hall at 5.30pm.

Feel free to come along and show your support to these young researchers!
