Upcoming "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" monkeypox special on October 13 at 5pm

Since 2015, the Medical Department/Center for Translational Science has run a "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" session, in which doctors are invited to give a brief presentation to Institut Pasteur scientists on the diseases they are involved in treating. They start by outlining one or more clinical cases, then provide a short description of the disease and conclude by looking at a series of unanswered questions that need to be addressed. The aim is to develop new translational collaboration between doctors and scientists.

After a temporary pause in these discussion sessions, the Medical Department is pleased to invite you to a new session on Thursday October 13, from 5 to 6pm, in the F. Jacob auditorium or via Teams.

For the start of the academic year, the Quarter-Hour sessions will begin with "Monkeypox – a new emergence of concern," in a special "4 Quarter-Hours" format involving presentations from a leading hospital-based infectious disease specialist, two key players at the Institut Pasteur involved in medical, biological and investigative treatment of patients, and a scientist working on pathogenesis and seeking to identify intermediate markers of vaccine efficacy.
