Officially recognized as a public-interest foundation, the Institut Pasteur is an internationally renowned biomedical research center, the nexus of a network of 32 institutions spanning five continents. Dedicated to preventing and fighting disease in France and around the world, the Institut Pasteur focuses its efforts in four domains: research, public health, education, and applied research development.
The Institut Pasteur and its network count more than 350 scientists covering every discipline, with around 50 research projects already underway on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the respiratory illness it causes (COVID-19)—studying the virus itself, refining the tests that detect it, and exploring effective treatments and vaccines.
