Early stage training in infectious diseases involving intracellular pathogens

Obiettivo

Infectious diseases are responsible for major health, societal and economical problems in Europe and developing countries.

The aim of this project is to give early stage European scientists a wide multidisciplinary training concerning intracellular pathogens. With 40 % of its research activity devoted to infectious diseases, the Pasteur Institute is an ideal place to train early researchers in this field.

This programme will provide a unique PhD training promoted through:
- courses in multidisciplinary basic science and key methodologies;
- complementary skills training;
- laboratory research.

They will use cellular, molecular, genetic and genomic approaches to dissect critical interactions between intracellular bacteria and viruses, and their host during infection. The group leaders involved are internationally highly recognised experts in their field. The intracellular pathogens studied in this programme are major societal issues, both causing important human health problems, and also being environment and industry-related issues.

The intracellular bacteria are:
- Shigella, causing bacillary dysentery;
- Legionella, an environmental bacterium that colonizes water circuits;
- Listeria, which causes human diseases and food industry problems;
- Chlamydiae, that causes lung and eye infections, and sexually transmitted diseases, with severe consequences in women.

The viruses are: the Dengue virus, an emerging disease, endemic in most urban centres of the tropics; hepatitis C, a major health problem in Europe; HTLV-1, that may lead to leukemia, or inflammatory syndromes; and HIV-1 that may lead to AIDS.

This program will:
- move our understanding of intracellular pathogens to a new level;
- provide a new generation of well-trained scientists to advance European research and who can participate in quick and cutting edge scientific reaction to arising infectious agents requiring rapid scientific intervention to develop diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive tools.
