Last November, the symposium « Social Sciences and Biology for Understanding Emerging Diseases » was held at the Institut Pasteur in the framework of the INCEPTION project.
This international symposium is part of an effort at the Institut Pasteur to integrate the social sciences by building dialogues between specific social sciences disciplines and biomedical researchers with diverse approaches. Researchers from differents fields of social sciences presented talks and engaged in discussions around social sciences contributions to our understandings of health and illness.
