The Institut Pasteur in Paris and its International Network of 32 institutes, including HKU-Pasteur Research Pole, have been extremely active worldwide in responding with science to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Its response currently involves 300 people at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and several teams in the network in other countries.
A coronavirus task force was set up by the Institut Pasteur in January to coordinate COVID-19 research by its teams. Sixteen research projects are now under way, and several other projects submitted to the task force are set to begin shortly
