Upcoming scientific conferences with the Institut Pasteur Conference Center
The Institut Pasteur Conference Center is pleased to announce the upcoming organized by the Pasteur Institute on campus for the second semester of 2025:
• 14th International Conference on the Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis of Clostridia from September 1 to 4, 2025
The International Conference on the Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis of Clostridia (ClostPath), which began in 1995, has been a leading venue to bring together top scientists and clinicians studying the molecular biology of clostridia and their role in health and disease.
In keeping with this tradition, Clostpath 14 will cover all aspects of clostridia-dependent pathogenesis and will open with a welcome word by Yasmine Belkaid, followed by an introducing keynote an introductory lecture by Pr. Dena Lyras.
The scientific program of Clostpath 14 will include lectures by internationally recognized leaders in clostridial research and clinical practice. In addition to state-of-the-art invited talks on the most recent and exciting discoveries in the field, short oral contributions will be selected from submitted abstracts. Poster presentations will give attendees the opportunity to discuss their ongoing work with a broad audience in line with the goal to bring together basic science with clinical and translational research issues.
• Gastrulation Reloaded: Developing, engineering and evolving the body plan, from October 14 to 17, 2025
This conference brings together scientists studying gastrulation, the process where pluripotent stem cells internalize and differentiate into embryonic germ layers while establishing the embryo's main axes. It covers fundamental biology topics such as gene regulation, fate specification, evo-devo, stem cell biology, morphogenesis, mechanics, signaling, and tissue engineering in early embryonic development. With the advent of stem cell-based embryo models (gastruloids) mimicking gastrulation in vitro and in humans, we aim to foster collaboration across developmental biology, evo-devo, and engineering to inspire new approaches, technologies, and hypotheses in the field.
