"As a woman, mum and presenter of programs that are part of the daily lives of French people, I know just how crucial medical research is for our lives. That is why I am delighted to have become an Institut Pasteur patron last year. Every day, the Institut Pasteur's scientists do their bit to protect us and our loved ones. It is our duty to do our bit to support them."

"I am proud to have become an Institut Pasteur patron last year. Research is a bit like making a film – it takes time, creativity and a lot of perseverance. 
Supporting research means finding effective treatments for patients.
Supporting research means preserving life and investing in our shared future."

Kad Merad, actor and Institut Pasteur patron

They'll soon be donning a lab coat and gloves to talk science and health to Institut Pasteur scientists who work tirelessly at the cutting edge of research. Keep an eye on the BIP for further details of this meeting!
