Dr. Gerald Spaeth
Research Director at Pasteur Institute,
Department of Parasites and Insect Vectors (PIV)
Alien versus Predator: Human infection by the parasite Leishmania
Dr. Gerald Spaeth is a research scientist and Head of a laboratory at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. He studied biology in Germany and obtained his PhD at the Institut Pasteur on human development. Following a post-doctoral research internship in the US, he established his first lab at New York University before moving his team back to Paris in 2005. His research is focused on the parasite Leishmania and the deadly tropical disease, leishmaniasis. Because of climate change and population displacement, this disease is emerging in Europe and France. Dr. Spaeth’s team studies the Leishmania parasite's Biology and the cause of its pathogenicity, aiming to identify new anti-parasitic treatments.
