Pascale Cossart studied chemistry in Lille and in Washington, DC. She prepared her PhD at the Institut Pasteur in Paris where she is still now, heading the « Bacteria-Cell Interactions »unit. After studying DNA-protein interactions, she started in 1986, to investigate the molecular and cellular basis of infections by intracellular bacteria taking as model the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. Her research has led to new concepts in infection biology, in cell biology and in fundamental microbiology, including RNA regulation.

Pascale Cossart is considered as a pioneer in Cellular Microbiology. Her contributions have been recognized by international awards and elections at several academies.

Pascale Cossart will discuss "The bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes: a multifaceted model" at FEMS2019
