The Quantitative Biosciences Institute at UCSF and Institut Pasteur presented, "Joining Forces to Combat Emerging Infectious Diseases: Institut Pasteur and QBI UCSF Form an Alliance," a live Twitter Space interview moderated by Kathy Giacomini, featuring Carla Saleh and Nevan Krogan.

This conversation highlights how two powerhouses chose to form a collaboration across boarders to better understand, treat, and prevent infectious diseases worldwide by launching the “Institut Pasteur-UCSF QBI Center of Excellence in Emerging Infectious Diseases". The joint center aims to combine the tools and knowledge at Institut Pasteur and UCSF to offer the best expertise and know-how available to support major scientific advances in the field of emerging infectious diseases. The partners have built a successful relationship over the past years and both seek to further align in health research and innovation based on their international cooperation. Tune in to this segment to learn more about the evolution of this endeavor thus far, and upcoming activities that are designed to continue building this partnership.

Dr. David Gordon studies HIV. In Life/Science, a new mini-series produced in collaboration with the UCSF Quantitative Biosciences Institute, we're giving you a peek behind the curtain. This isn't just a series about science, it's also about the process, about what it actually means to do this kind of research - including the confusion, failures, and triumphs David has faced along the way.

Life/Science will be updated bi-weekly, so make sure to tune in on the 18th for Episode 2: Methods! We'll take a deep dive into the experiments David used to figure out how HIV hijacks human cells for its own nefarious purposes.
