Alexandra Lamy, loyal patron of the fundraising campaign

Alexandra Lamy has now been patron of Pasteurdon for a remarkable six years in a row. The actress has made a long-term commitment to the cause. Once again this year, she will be the Institut Pasteur's spokesperson in the media. She will describe the Institut Pasteur's activities for readers, listeners and viewers and explain why donations are so vital to drive research forward.

Alexandra Lamy is well aware of the dedication of the Institut Pasteur's scientists and the health issues that are being addressed by their research. On September 2, she visited the Laboratory for Urgent Response to Biological Threats (CIBU) and met with director Jean-Claude Manuguerra and the entire team. This was a great opportunity for her to find out more about the missions of this entity in particular as well as the Institut Pasteur's role in improving scientific know-how in order to benefit human health across the world.
