Joint Retreat StaPa – YouPI 2018

This year, our International Retreat was organized in collaboration with YouPI (Young Researchers of the Hellenic Pasteur Institute) in Athens, Greece. We received 59 young researchers from four Pasteur Institutes from the International Network: Paris, Athens, Saint-Petersburg and Tunes. We had the honor to host Dr Peli Foka, Dr Rebecca Matsas, Dr Angèle Bénard and Dr Vivi Miriagou as our keynote speakers in insightful talks. The participants engaged in 19 oral and 42 posters presentations to discuss research in varied fields, including Molecular biology, Bioinformatics, Immunology, Microbiology, Biophysics and Public health. The retreat also included a delightful visit to the Acropolis Museum.

The StaPa organizing committee is grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing YouPI team on this project that strengthen the links among the Pasteur Institute International Network. We also want to thanks all the young researchers that made this event possible by sharing and discussing their work with the community.
