Mobility-based synthetic contact matrices offer a promising alternative for real-time pandemic response modeling. How do they compare with traditional empirical contact matrices? We address this question in our latest study, now published in Nature Communications ⬇️ doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Few years ago, an intern in the team explored historical archives and identified a fascinating report describing with great detail the large French cholera epidemic of 1892. The modelling analysis of these data has now been published in Epidemics. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪

Two days of great scientific discussions with >100 infectious disease modellers during the annual meeting of FRAME (the French Research Action on Modelling Epidemics), supported by @anrs-mie.bsky.social. What a fantastic research community!

International Workshop on Social Contacts for Epidemic Modeling Paris, Dec 8-9, 2025 epicontacts2025.weebly.com Dec 8: Training session on contact data for ID modeling. Dec 9: Workshop on methodological advances in the field, featuring a strong lineup of invited speakers. @anrs-mie.bsky.social

Plague remains a health issue in several parts of the world—especially in Madagascar, where epidemics follow a seasonal pattern. In our new @pnas.org paper, we link that seasonality to rat and flea dynamics and quantify the impact of various control strategies. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

New postdoc positions with a number of exciting epidemic modelling projects opening in our Unit at @pasteur.fr in beautiful Paris. Deadline for applications: 26th June. research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postd...

📊💉 Following the success of its first interface day dedicated to surveillance in 2023, the Modelling network of the @anrs-mie.bsky.social is pleased to be organising today a new interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral event dedicated to the contribution of modelling to vaccinology

Science, research & public health face unprecedented attacks in the U.S. We stand with our American colleagues & support the Stand Up for Science call. Join the global march tomorrow, incl. in Paris! 🧪✊ 📍 March 7, 13:30 – Place Jussieu 🔗 More info: standupforscience.fr #StandUpForScience

Pathogen genomes can provide insights into underlying disease transmission patterns but new methods are needed to analyze large genome datasets. Our work using identical pathogen sequences to characterize fine scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission was just published in @nature.com tinyurl.com/bdzk9xjj 🥳

During COVID years in France, the SocialCov survey showed major evolution and strong heterogeneities in contact patterns according to age, employment, weekend/vacation. Led by @paolobosetti.bsky.social and @lullaopatowski.bsky.social. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The Institut Pasteur has decided to leave X (formerly Twitter) to join BlueSky! 🦋 The Institut Pasteur made this decision due to several serious issues observed on the X platform since its acquisition. Join us here to continue advocating for science. www.pasteur.fr/en/home/pres...

Join our 1-week course on Infectious Disease Mathematical Modelling at Institut Pasteur in beautiful Paris, April 7-11 2025! Deadline for applications: 7 December 2024. More information at www.pasteur.fr/en/education...
