September 12, 2023: come along to the "New heads of research units" conference and the award ceremony for the Institut Pasteur Young Scientist Prize

On September 12, the Executive Management, together with the Executive Scientific Division, will be holding the latest edition of the "New heads of research units" conference, from 10am to 12 noon. The in-person event will take place in the CIS auditorium. It will be opened by Stewart Cole and presented by Christophe d'Enfert.

The conference, for internal staff only and open to all, will feature presentations by several new heads of research units – five-year groups (G5s), five-year units (U5s) and ten-year units (U10s). This year, no fewer than seven unit heads will take to the floor to present their teams, their research and the advances they have made in their respective areas of expertise.

 

Program:
 

U10 head

• Marie-Anne Rameix-Welti: Respiratory syncytial virus: From viral factories to the release of new virions

U5 heads

• Nadia Izadi-Pruneyre: Structure and dynamics of bacterial motors

• Asier Sáez-Cirión: HIV remission: learning from the few exceptions to develop new therapeutic strategies

• Jean-Pierre Vartanian: Endogenous DNA mutator enzymes : the crossroad of viral stress and cancer

G5 heads

• Laura Cantini: Multi-modal learning for single-cell multi-omics data integration

• Pablo Guardado-Calvo: Targeting the viral envelope

• Sebastian Baumgarten: Crossing borders: Transmission biology of the human malaria parasite

 

The event on September 12 will also include the award ceremony for the Institut Pasteur Young Scientist Prize, introduced in 2018 for the Institut Pasteur's 130th anniversary.

The awards will be presented during the conference to a PhD student and a postdoctoral fellow who were first authors of high-level research papers published during the year.

We hope that lots of you will come along next Tuesday to see this year's winners receive their awards!

A welcome coffee will be held at 9am before the start of this annual event for all staff.
