Instructors

Michaela Müller-Trutwin
Michaela Müller-Trutwin is Associate Professor and the head of the “HIV, Inflammation and Persistence” Unit at Institut Pasteur, where she also directed the international PhD program. She is the President of the Coordinated Action on HIV Basic research at the ANRS and Vice-President of the Scientific Council at Institut Pasteur. Her work is focused on identifying factors involved in the protection against chronic inflammation and the control of viral reservoirs with the aim to translate the findings into clinical research.

Asier Sáez-Cirión
Asier Sáez-Cirión is Associate Professor at Institut Pasteur and Team Leader at the HIV, Inflammation and Persistence Unit. He is the Co-coordinator of the ANRS RHIVIERA consortium on HIV remission and the ANRS VISCONTI study. He is the president of the scientific and medical committee of Sidaction. His work is currently focused on understanding natural mechanisms associated with control of HIV/SIV infection and progression to AIDS. In particular he studies the role of intrinsic and adaptive immunity and the impact of viral reservoirs in different models of spontaneous or induced control of viremia in the absence of antiretroviral therapy.

Editor

The Institut Pasteur is a private, not-for-profit French foundation based in Paris, dedicated to the study of biology, micro-organisms, diseases and vaccines.

Created in 1888 thanks to an international public subscription, it is named after Louis Pasteur1, its founder and first director, who in 1885 developed the first vaccine against rabies.

For over a century, the Institut Pasteur has been at the forefront of the fight against infectious diseases. In 1983, this international research organisation was the first to isolate the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Over the years, it has been responsible for revolutionary discoveries that have enabled medicine to control virulent diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, influenza, yellow fever, epidemic plague, hepatitis B and AIDS.

Platform

France Université Numérique is the broadcaster of the online courses of French higher education institutions and their partners.

It operates several platforms of diffusion, of which the best known, FUN MOOC, is the first French-speaking academic platform worldwide. Thanks to many partner institutions, this platform offers a vast catalog of courses enriched daily with various themes and current events.
