Third edition of the conference on "Scientists, physicians and research participants"

Did you know that several healthy volunteers and patients give samples and share their health data for the Institut Pasteur's scientists?

The ICAReB platform in the Center for Translational Science (CRT) has the job of recruiting these volunteers, taking the samples required and gathering their health data to add to collections that are maintained in full compliance with applicable regulations.

Every two years, these volunteers are invited to a conference where they can meet and talk to the scientists and doctors who use their resources. This year, the conference will take place in two parts.

The first part will be held on Friday October 30, 2020, from 9.45am to 12.30pm, via Teams. This half-day will feature a presentation of the results of research projects in which the volunteers participated.

The other sessions discussing the sharing of personal data produced in research and setting out the volunteers' viewpoint will be held in mid-May 2021.

If you are interested in this initiative, please feel free to attend.

The event is free but prior registration is required
