We would like to thank each and every one of our sponsors that supported our project NeuronArch with their donations. We hope to continue our collaboration with them in the future and bring NeuronArch to another level.
The Institut Pasteur
The Institut Pasteur is a private, non-profit foundation. Its mission is to help prevent and treat diseases, mainly those of infectious origin, through research, teaching, and public health initiatives. Different departments of the Institut Pasteur helped us to create what NeuronArch is today and have been a pillar in its advancement. The Education Department of Institut Pasteur (DDE), offers high-quality courses related to Research and Public Health. It is responsible for PhD students' supervision by providing them tutorials and oversees the Paris Pasteur University Doctoral Program. The Department of Development supports the scientific and strategic ambition of the senior management by developing interdisciplinary through various programs and by fostering cooperation between academic research and public health. We would like to particularly thank both of those departments that enabled us to buy consumables and set up public events to advance our project NeuronArch to its full potential, but also allowed us to bring the entire team to Boston.
