Presentation
An interdisplinary and integrative research
In addition to the six research departments showing expertise in the field of infectious diseases (Cell Biology & Infection - Infection & Epidemiology - Microbiology - Mycology - Parasites and Insect Vectors - Virology), Pasteur MS gathers 3 research units from the Immunology department (Antibodies in Therapy and Pathology - Immune regulation and Vaccinology - Microenvironment and Immunity) and cutting-edge technological platforms through the new Institut Pasteur’s Centre for Innovation & Technological Research (Citech).
Combining a unique know-how with an integrative approach, Pasteur MS aims to offer to its industrial partners relevant answers to major economic and public health issues, in the following challenging topics:
- Microbiota and Non-communicable Diseases
- Early, rapid and sensitive Diagnostics tools
- Emerging and Re-emerging diseases
- Nosocomial infectious Diseases and antibiotic resistance
- Therapeutic strategies targeting the host – personalized medicine
Target markets

A technological hub, providing expertise for outsourcing
and to develop collaborative R&D projects
The Center for Innovation & Technological Research (Citech) organizes and maintains technological core facilities at the state of the art. Citech acts as a central technological hub for the teams of the Pasteur MS, to develop, give access to and share cutting-edge technology equipment, expertise and training.
Over 75 people are operating cutting-edge facilities in the fields of :
- Light microscopy, in-vivo imaging
- Electron microscopy
- “Omics” technnologies, as NGS and Mass spectrometry
- Protein science : biophysics, crystallography, recombinant protein productions, antibody engineering
- Chemogenomic screening, HTS, HCS
- Biomaterials and microfluidics
Citech is also hosting the Pasteur techLab, an open laboratory dedicated to technological research projects.
An internationally recognized stakeholder
- Leading collaborative projects with international partners, to advance research in life sciences
- Coordinating the « GLOBAL CARE Initiative », which gathers five Carnot Human Health Institutes (Calym, Curie Cancer, ICM, Pasteur MS, Voir et Entendre)
- Associated with a unique global international network (RIIP), that gathers 33 “Instituts Pasteur” around the five continents, to acquire deep knowledge of local fields and from research at the heart of endemic areas. This large network provides new opportunities for abroad publicprivate partnerships all over the world.
From bench to bedside
- New imaging strategies, as in-vivo and super-resolution imaging
- Delivery systems and vaccine applications
- Biomarkers for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches
- Innovative in-vitro and in-vivo, in-silico, models
