Prerequisite
This MOOC is intended for biology students, from the undergraduate to the graduate level, doctors, teachers, researchers, and more generally for all those interested in emergent infectious diseases. A good scientific level is recommended to follow this MOOC (Bachelor of Science).
Instructors
Pierre-Emmanuel Ceccaldi
Director of the MOOC, Pierre-Emmanuel Ceccaldi is Professor at Université Paris Cité and Team Leader in the Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Oncogenic Viruses Unit, Institut Pasteur. He is the co-director of the Fundamental Virology course at the Institut Pasteur. His work is focused on the interactions of different viruses with host barriers (blood-brain barrier, intestinal barrier…), and neuromuscular system.
Arnaud Fontanet
Director of the MOOC, Arnaud Fontanet is Director of the Epidemiology of Emerging Diseases Unit at the Institut Pasteur and Professor of Health and Development at the CNAM. He has a doctorate in medicine (Université Paris V) and in public health (Harvard University).
Jean-Pierre Vartanian
Director of the MOOC, Jean-Pierre Vartanian is Associate Professor at Institut Pasteur in the Virology Department. He is the co-director of the Fundamental Virology course at the Institut Pasteur. His work is focused on identifying restriction factors involved in viral replication and the role of cellular RNA/DNA editing enzymes with antiviral activity against a range of human pathogens.
Stephan Zientara
Director of the MOOC, Stéphan Zientara was awarded a doctorate in veterinary medicine in 1987 and a university doctorate in 1995, obtaining his HDR in 2001. Stéphan Zientara is Director of the Anses Animal Health Laboratory in Maisons-Alfort (France), Director of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Equine Diseases and Deputy Director of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Foot and Mouth Disease.
Laurie Pinaud
Community manager of the MOOC. Laurie Pinaud holds a PhD in microbiology and an MPH in epidemiology and public health. She took part in 2015 in the response to the Ebola epidemic outbreak in West Africa with the Pasteur Institute task force. Since 2020, she is a clinical research project manager within the Emerging diseases epidemiology unit of the Pasteur Institute, where she coordinates COVID-19 studies.
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.
