In the run-up to this year's Pasteurdon, a press visit was held on September 23 on the Institut Pasteur campus. This was an opportunity to go into the details of the press kit with the 13 journalists in attendance, each representing their respective media channel (including France info, France Culture, Les Echos, Le Figaro, Ouest France, Santé Magazine or Le Quotidien du médecin ), who gathered in the cafeteria area in "The 25." After a general presentation of the Institut Pasteur, the journalists were given a closer look at one of the five scientific topics explored in the press kit with a visit to the research laboratory led by Miria Ricchetti, Head of the Molecular Mechanisms of Pathological and Physiological Aging Unit, to meet the members of her team. The laboratory tour introduced the journalists to the topic of brain organoids, a research tool that is being increasingly used to study the cellular and neural mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases. The journalists were fascinated by the subject and took the opportunity to chat to the scientists and find out more about this innovative technique with huge potential for future research.
