  • Institute Pasteur-Korea
Overview
The Institute Pasteur-Korea, formally inaugurated in April 2004, with the strategic
focus to enable technologies and therapeutic development in disease models
pertaining to public health in Korea and elsewhere. Historically, Institut Pasteur holds a
unique position as a non-profit private foundation that has engaged in basic life
science research for the last 130 years and that has been awarded eight Nobel Prizes
over that period.

First among the network of international Pasteur Institutes to develop a technology-
based approach to therapeutics development in close collaboration with foreign
partner institutions, IP-Korea has established a “translational research program” that
allows us to develop basic research in molecular medicine into drug discovery by
combining advanced high throughput screening in living cells, image analysis, and
computer-aided image mining.  We have established screening assays for both
infectious disease (including neglected diseases) and chronic illness.
