September 12, 2023: Save the date for the upcoming edition of 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: Molecular Mechanisms of Multiplication of Pneumoviruses M3P

U5 heads
• Nadia Izadi-Pruneyre: Bacterial Transmembrane Systems
• Asier Sáez-Cirión: Viral Reservoirs and Immune Control
• Jean-Pierre Vartanian: Virus and Cellular Stress

G5 heads
• Laura Cantini: Machine Learning for Integrative Genomics
• Pablo Guardado-Calvo: Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases
• Sebastian Baumgarten: Parasite RNA biology

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 to see this year's winners receive their awards!
