Day 3: Society, Immunology, Infection and Planetary Health

Day 3 will address the question of how genomics and immunology can be combined to advance understanding, prevention and treatment of infectious and chronic diseases. Examples will include microbiome studies, and work toward eradication of vaccine-preventable diseases worldwide. One session is dedicated to the societal and policy questions that arise from the research. The role of the Institut Pasteur network of laboratories around the world, and the new Foundation Pasteur Japan initiative will be presented.
