PPU Interview Week 2012
Interview candidates of the 2012 PPU interview week gathered in front of the Historic Procope Brasserie.
Final interview day Cocktail - Photo
Candidates gather for informal discussion and refreshments with the PPU Office members and Institut Pasteur Direction.
On Nov 7th 2011, the PPU organized as part of its training program, a workshop on Global Health & The Institut Pasteur international network.
The program included a keynote lecture by Pr. Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University (USA), on challenges and solutions of global health issues.
After this introduction, the International Institut Pasteur Network was addressed at two levels. The first part was from a historic perspective, with a presentation given by Pr. Anne-Marie Moulin, CNRS, in which she restituted the context and challenges of early pioneering work by Institut Pasteur scientists in foreign countries. In the second session, an overview given by Dr. Salomon, head of the International Department of Institut Pasteur, Paris, who emphasized the density and variety of the research centers around the globe . The following presentations by Dr. Roberto Bruzzone, Director of IP Hong Kong, gave insights into the management of an international research center with scientific, strategic and financial perspectives. Finally Dr. Sara Eyangoh of the Centre Pasteur of Cameroon highlighted the ongoing research progress on the Buruli ulcer, with a special mention of the impact of stigmatization, hence the social impact of the disease and the role of the scientist in the field.
Fianly, students and speakers gathered around some refreshments to exchange point of views and questions.
Retreat 2011
The second retreat of the PPU was held from the 12th-thru the 13th of May 2011, at Trouville, Calvados.
Students learned about their Class "Patron". This year the focus was on Jacques Monod, Nobel laureate for the co-discovery of the Lac Operon.
