Prerequisite
This MOOC is aimed at people interested in understanding the complex interactions between microbes and our nervous system, especially our brain.
A bachelor of science is recommended to attend this MOOC.
Ce MOOC s'adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent mieux comprendre les interactions entre les microbes et notre système nerveux, en particulier notre cerveau.
Une licence de sciences est recommandée pour suivre ce MOOC.
Instructors
Grégoire Chevalier
Grégoire Chevalier is a researcher at the Institut Pasteur, studying the interplay between the microbiota and the host. He pursued his thesis under the supervision of Pr. Daniel Gonzalez-Dunia and Pr. Roland Liblau, at the Centre of Pathophysiology of Toulouse Purpan, at the crossroad of immunology and neurosciences, studying the mechanisms of neuronal damage caused by neuroinflammation. He obtained his PhD in neuroimmunology in 2011 from Toulouse III University, France. He then joined the Institut Pasteur in Paris as a postdoctoral fellow within the lab of Pr. Gérard Eberl. He is an active member of a consortium on "Microbes & Brain" at the Institut Pasteur, which brings together neuroscientists, immunologists and microbiologists of the institute.
Ivo Gomperts Boneca
Ivo Boneca is the head of the Biology and Genetics of Bacterial Cell Wall research unit at the Institut Pasteur. He worked for his thesis under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Tomasz, at The Rockefeller University, New York, USA, and obtained his PhD in biology from the Institute of Technical Chemistry and Biology in Lisbon in 2000. He then joined the Institut Pasteur as a post-doctoral fellow in 2000 and became the head of a Junior group at the Institut Pasteur in 2008 and of a full research unit in 2013.
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.
