From the And The Band Played On Movie: How important is communication between researchers in the United States and the Pasteur Institute in Paris, in the information they recognized? What role do CDC and NIH play in this situation?
Thanks for asking the question
So firstly let us understand the role of the mentioned organizations in the question individually
National Institutes of Health - NIH
The NIH is a division that operates under or within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It looks after and is responsible for the behavioral and biomedical research of the country. It works on the main mission of search of fundamental knowledge about the behavior and nature of living systems and to apply the knowledge practically to extend the healthy and good life and also to reduce the burdens of disability and illness. It is the country's agency in medical research. It supports the scientific studies that lead to new discoveries in health science. It is the largest source that funds for research in the medical science in the world by creating a great number of high-quality jobs. It also provides training opportunities to the institutes and universities across the country.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC (USA)
The CDC is also an important component that operates under the Department of Health and Human Services HHS
The CDC works round the clock to safeguard the country from threats of health safety and security not just within the country but also in the world outside the US. It works so rigorously that it fights and support the people whether the disease is in abroad or at home if its a human mistake or the or an attack that happened deliberately, the disease that can be cured or one that can be prevented. It, therefore, increases the security of health in the nation. For this to happen they conduct science at a critical level and provide the information the country from dangerous threats of health and respond vigilantly.
The Pasteur Institute in Paris
This is the international center for biomedical research in several disciplines. By decrypting the basic mechanisms in living beings, the researchers contribute to the significant progress in the knowledge that leads to cutting-edge medical applications which greatly improves the health of the people
So now to answer the important part of the question the relationship or the kind of communication with the NIH and CDC in the United States with the Pasteur Institute is at a very high level. There are several diseases that emerge which become sporadic, epidemic and even pandemic like that of COVID-19, In this kind of situations, it is the Pasteur Institute that plays a significant role in developing the deep research and vaccines. The multidisciplinary approach of the institute and unique technological facilities promotes the discovery and innovation progress in diagnosis, vaccines, therapy, and technology for the benefit of patients. At the Institute of Pasteur along CDC and NIH provides a favorable technological environment to enable the teams of talented researchers to contribute as fully as possible to tomorrow’s fundamental discoveries and biomedical innovations.
Please do let me know if I can help you with anything.
BEST OF LUCK
Thank you
