40 YEARS OF HIV

Forty years ago, a major research discovery was made when HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was identified by an Institut Pasteur team whose members included Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Jean-Claude Chermann and Luc Montagnier. The Institut Pasteur wanted to mark this anniversary by paying tribute to Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, and through her to the entire scientific community and all those involved over the past four decades in tackling HIV/AIDS.

International

On Tuesday June 13, from 10am to 5.30pm in the CIS hall, a day will be held for Institut Pasteur staff interested in finding out about the Institut Pasteur's work at the international level. The program will include stands, round tables, an "international" lunch break, fun activities, a concert and opportunities to chat and meet people.
