To mark the 2024 edition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are proud to present the profiles of seven women working at the Institut Pasteur. PhD students, research unit heads, group leaders and clinicians, tackling tick-borne diseases, endometriosis, fungal infections, tuberculosis, breast cancer and brain tumors. These experts in immunology, genomics and medical entomology are part of the Institut Pasteur's rich scientific and human tapestry.
