Kad Merad and Julia Vignali, Pasteurdon patrons: spotlight on their commitment
For the second year running, scientists will have the honor of being supported by the Institut Pasteur's patrons, Julia Vignali and Kad Merad. These prominent figures are committed to supporting research alongside scientists.
"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."
Julia Vignali, presenter and Institut Pasteur patron
"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
