Team:Pasteur Paris/Team

Pasteur Institute team

We have the great honor to be the first iGEM team formed by the Pasteur Institute. Our team brings together about twenty Bachelor and Master students trained in fields varying from biology and chemistry to mathematics, journalism and political science. We combine our skills and expertise, exchange ideas and inspiration. A dozen of researchers supervise us; they are staff scientists, post-docs, PhD students and technicians from the Insitute, experts in various fields of research.

Advisor & instructor :

  • Floriane Cherrier :

    • Hi, I create a new team in France. I'm a technician at Institut Pasteur in Parasitologie. Indeed I work on mosquitos who are responsable for the malaria.

  • Deshmukh Gopaul :

    • Accompanying the Pasteur iGEM team as principal contact, and in charge of Undergraduate Studies at Institut Pasteur, I also head a group studying DNA site specific recombination by Structural Biology methods. Adaptation to the environment through genome evolution is one of my major interests.

Instructors :

  • Maxime Entremont :

    • Hi, I'm Maxime Entremont. I study biology and life ingenineering at UPMC. I like to learn how biology/life works and I would like to learn more about it, that's why I'm doing the iGEM competition.

  • Mathieu Hubert :

    • Hello! I'm Mathieu Hubert and I'm 22. I study biology at University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris and I'm passionated by science. Precisely, I love virology. Finally, I'm a competitor, that's why I participate in international iGEM competition and I'm fine to create a new scientific project of synthetic biology with the Pasteur's team. See you later!

  • Lucas Krauss :

    • Hello people!!! My name is Lucas Krauss. I am currently studying Life Sciences at University Pierre and Marie Curie. I am eager to learn new things every day and like to be challenged.

  • Hayatte Mir :

    • Hi there! My name is Hayatte-Dounia Mir. This year I am part of iGEM Pasteur team, the parisian team! I study Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences at Pierre et Marie Curie University. I am fascinated by the complexity of the human brain and its deregulations. I would like to pursue with a phD in cellular or cognitive Neurosciences. I love travel and discover other cultures, other countries, other ways to think and share. See you soon!

  • Florence Moesh :

    • Hi! My name is Florence. I'm currently studying biology at Pierre & Marie Curie University, and social sciences at the Paris Institute of Political sciences. I'm really interested in the major scientic issues, that's why I like the idea of working on a project with other students to find new ways of thinking and bring up innovative solutions.
