We are delighted to congratulate Pascale Cossart, Faculty Member in the Microbiology Faculty, on winning the FEBS-EMBO Women in Science Award 2014.

Based at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, Pascale is world renowned for her work in infectious diseases, particularly in the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and how it causes disease. After her success last year winning the 2013 Balzan Prize for Infectious Diseases, she is recognised for her outstanding contribution to microbiology, as well as for her efforts in the mentoring of young scientists and encouraging multidisciplinary collaborations in the life sciences. Pascale will be awarded her prize at the FEBS-EMBO Anniversary Meeting in Paris, France, in September, where she will give a special lecture.
