With the arrival of autumn and the start of a new college year, it is our pleasure to invite you to the Pierre Talbot conferences of the INRS Infectiopôle. But what does that imply?
The Pierre Talbot conferences is a series of seminars held in honor of professor Pierre Talbot, pioneer of research on coronaviruses, former director of the Armand-Frappier Santé et Biotechnologie centre and key participant in the admission of the centre to the Pasteur Network.
Periodically, a person of interest in research and the fight against infectious diseases will be invited to hold a conference where they can share the results of their works to the community of the Infectiopôle. These one hour seminars will be held in the “Salle Pasteur” of the ASFB centre. Afterwards, all participants will be invited to a pizza lunch, offered by the executive of the Infectiopôle, in order to allow discussion between students, the speaker and all participants, whether it is to ask additional questions, to network or simply to socialize.
The main goal of the Pierre Talbot conferences is to offer to students an opportunity to learn from the works of other researchers and to broaden their horizons regarding the wide variety of issues in the fight against infectious diseases, knowledge that will surely be very useful during their studies and their time at INRS. These events will remain nonetheless open to all members of the INRS community, and we encourarage all available to join us to learn more on the progress of research inside and outside of our walls.
This article will be periodically updated with the dates of any future presentations when they are confirmed. An article will also be published before each presentation, in order to introduce the speakers.
– Tuesday September 26, 2023, 11:00 a.m.: Dr. Peter Tijssen – “Preasidium libertatis and virus vitalium”
– Monday October 16, 2023, 11:00 a.m.: Dr. Eric Oswald – “Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”.
NB: As the materials necessary to hold videoconferences have yet to be installed in the “salle Pasteur”, we cannot offer a method to attend remotely. However, IT services have previously told us that this issue should be resolved very soon. Thus, as soon as the “salle Pasteur” will be sufficiently equipped, we will gladly offer an alternative to those who cannot assist in person to the conferences.
