PathoGenomics in FranceThe Genopole network • Infrastructures for genomic and postgenomic research programs • Limited national funding for projects • Several Genopoles have Pathogenomics related projects/Programs • Total budget in 2004: 6M€
Institutions involved in the study of human pathogens • CNRS: National Research Council • INSERM: Medical Research Council • INRA: Agronomical Research Council • CEA: Nuclear Research • DGA: Army (bio terrorism, Plasmodium) • Institut Pasteur The CRNG (National Comity for Genomic Research) involves the CNRS, INRA, INSERM and CEA
Ministerium possibly involved • Ministerium for Research • Ministerium for Health • Ministerium for Agriculture • Ministerium for Environment
Microorganisms studied in France (with a genomic component) • Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ulcerans • Staphylococcus aureus • Bacillus anthracis / cereus • Streptococcus pneumoniae, agalactiae • Legionella pneumophila • Escherichia coli - Shigella • Helicobacter pylori • Listeria monocytogenes • Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Yersinia pestis - pseudotuberculosis • Chlamydia trachomatis • Candida albicans - glabrata - Aspergillus fumigatus • Plasmodium falciparum ……
Conclusion • Infrastructures of high standards are available for a Pathogenomics national program • Several national programs in microbiology have been granted these last 5 years • Need for specific funding of small national networks in the frame of a French Pathogenomics program
