IF/00835/2014CP1232/CT0002.More than 125 years after its foundation (*), the Pasteur Institute is still one
of the world’s largest, best known and most powerful biomedical research
institutions 1. The original motherhouse was founded by Louis Pasteur in
1888 thanks to the funds and facilities generously provided by the Paris
municipality and the French state and also to the donations of voluntary
contributors from France and the most disparate corners of the globe 2.
Before the great savant died seven years later, official branches had already
been opened in Saigon, Lille, Tunis, Algiers, Sydney and Nha-Trang, not
to speak about many others which had adopted the trademark without
having a formal connection to the Parisian headquarters, such as those in
Rio de Janeiro, New York, Chicago or Istanbul. During the first quarter of
the 20th century, new official institutes were established in various French
colonies and protectorates as well as in countries with significant economic,
political or cultural links with France such as Brazil, Greece, Romania, the
Soviet Union, and Iran. Today, the so-called Institut Pasteur International
Network comprises 32 centers in the five continents 3.UID/HIS/00057/2013 (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007702)
