Research, Development and Innovation

Advancing scientific understanding and technological innovation in public health and biomedicine

The challenge

• High-burden diseases such as malaria have significant health and social consequences on populations. Advancing innovation in diagnostics and new vaccines is critical to eradicating these diseases
• Improving prevention and primary health policies is crucial to reducing the burden of high burden diseases on mothers and children
• Access to health products remains a challenge in the Global South, especially in rural areas. New models are needed to bring market solutions that are unattractive to traditional pharma players and provide cost effective, accessible solutions

Role of the Pasteur Network

What?

We will focus on developing and testing innovative solutions for accessible diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics, and opportunities to increase accessibility Network-wide of critical research and development technology

How?

• Mobilizing capital to “de-risk” the most promising diagnostics and vaccines for infectious diseases
• Testing virtual solutions to increase the accessibility technology and improve R&D capacity
• Develop cross-institute innovative solutions to global “grand challenge” issues
