Private Foundations

  • The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

    Institut Pasteur researchers receive financial support from the Gates Foundation via calls for proposals for its “Grand Challenges Explorations” (GCE) initiative. The aim of this initiative is to support highly innovative research projects that can make a contribution to solving health problems in developing countries. The "Vaccine Discovery by Mapping Quasispecies Sequence Space" project by Marco Vignuzzi, from the five-year group on viral populations and pathogenesis, is one of the projects selected to receive funding as it responds to one of the foundation’s challenges (“Create new ways to protect against infectious diseases"). Out of over 3,000 proposals submitted, this project is the only one to have been selected from France and is one of only 10 to have been chosen from Europe.
  • Wellcome Trust (UK)

    The Institut Pasteur signed an agreement with the Wellcome Trust on 14 November 2008, sealing a partnership to promote immunology research and research into infectious diseases, tropical diseases and neglected diseases in humans and animals. The Institut Pasteur and the Wellcome Trust have agreed on specific areas for collaboration and will have an annual meeting to review how the collaboration has progressed.
