Surveillance and Investigation of Epidemic Situations in South-East Asia
The objective of SISEA is to improve the detection and response to emerging viruses in South-East Asia, including avian flu. This project is financed by the French Development Agency (AFD). .
This project supports a network of laboratories in the North and South to perform coordinated surveillance of infectious agents and their responsiveness to specific treatments, so as to track the emergence of antibiotic resistance. .
This project aims to improve surveillance of meningitis in African laboratories, evaluate new rapid diagnostic tests, identify new indicators of alert and better guide prevention policies. .
TB Ethics is an FP5 project whose goal is to bring together expertise in bioethics and biomedical research to improve the implementation of clinical trials around the world. .
Research-driven rESponse to Acute Respiratory Infections
Since 2004, RESPARI has promoted public health and research activities on acute respiratory infections, as well as other infectious diseases in the Asia-Pacific region. .
Project with DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services, USA)
This project's objectives are to reinforce surveillance networks for flu viruses in Africa and South-East Asia, particularly regarding avian flu, as well as to perform epidemiological studies. .
To reach these objectives, the DHHS programme provides specialised training sessions designed to ensure adequate support for epidemic investigations..
Reinforcement of a surveillance network for flu in Africa
French Ministry of Health
The principal activities of this project concern the detection and characterisation of flu viruses and laboratory capacity building. The project also supports the implementation of a cross-cutting study on the typing of flu strains circulating in sub-Saharan African in order to better understand transmission mechanisms. .
Molecular TB
This collaboration between the Institut Pasteur, the Shanghai Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the Medical School at Fudan University aims to contribute to knowledge in molecular biology with respect to tuberculosis, particuarly regarding diagnostic techniques and the detection of antibiotic resistance.
To reach new heights in biomedical research and its applications in public health, the Institut Pasteur and the members of the International Network participate in numerous projects at the local, regional, and international level.
