\nBio of the speaker: \;
\nPascale Cossart\, after studying chemistry in Lille ( France) obtained a master degree at Georgetown University\, Washington\, D C. Back in France\, she obtained her PhD in Paris in the Institut Pasteur where she has headed the « \;Bacteria-Cell Interactions \;»unit \, also an Inserm and an INRA unit\, until recently. After studying DNA-prot ein interactions\, in E. coli\, she started in 1986\, to study th e molecular and cellular basis of infections by intracellular bacteria tak ing as a model the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Pas cale Cossart pioneered the field of Cellular Microbiology. Her research ha s led to new concepts in infection biology but also in fundamental microbi ology (in particular RNA biology)\, in cell biology and also in epigenetic s. Her contributions have been recognized by a number of awards\, includin g the Robert Koch Prize (2007)\, the Louis Jeantet Prize for Medicine (200 8)\, the Balzan Prize(2013)\, the Heinrich Wieland prize (2018)\, and the NAS Selman Waksman Award (2021). She is a member of the French Academy of Science (2002)\, a foreign member of the American National Academy of Scie nce (NAS) (2009)\, of the German Leopoldina (2001)\, of the Royal Society (2010) and the National Academy of Medecine (NAM) (2014).
