 Born on December 27th\, 1822\, the French chemist Louis Pasteur was one of
  the most important founders of medical microbiology.\n	Pasteur’s discoveri
 es on fermentation revolutionized the food industry.\n	His discoveries on t
 he silkworm diseases guided his later research on contagious diseases in a
 nimals\, then in humans.\n	Pasteur and R. Koch’s works on anthrax brought t
 he first experimental proof that a contagious disease was caused by a micr
 oorganism.\n	Consequently\, Pasteur codified the rules of hygiene\, which w
 ould be decisive to avoid infections\, especially from surgery. Extended t
 o our daily life\, these principles have implications in numerous fields.
 \n\nPasteur hypothesized that attenuated forms of microbes could be used t
 o protect against the virulent forms. After the vaccines against cholera a
 nd anthrax in animals\, the one against rabies\, applicable to humans\, op
 ens the road to the development of vaccinology.\n	Today\, the 'Pasteur Netw
 ork' has 33 members\, located on five continents. All bring services to th
 eir area\, participate in the global surveillance of infectious diseases\,
  and collaborate with numerous research programs. They serve a common obje
 ctive which is to put science at the disposal to improve the human health 
 of all everywhere in the world.\n\nSpeaker bio\n\nNow retired and living c
 lose to her children and grandson\, Dr. Bouchez has worked in several regi
 ons of Quebec\, in Ottawa (ON)\, and in France in both Public Health (PH) 
 and Clinical Medicine (as a GP\, a Paediatrician\, a Neonatologist and a H
 ospital Occupational Health Practitioner). She has taught at both the unde
 rgraduate and graduate levels. She has also been involved as a researcher 
 in a broad range of PH issues and has served with a number of organization
 s.\n\nIn Canada\, her main fields of interest and achievements in PH have 
 been maternal and child health\, cardiovascular disease prevention\, promo
 tion of community health research and organization of continuous medical e
 ducation\, mostly at a regional level. She participated in the regional pu
 blic health on-call system in Outaouais and Nord-du-Quebec. She successful
 ly managed the meningococcal crisis in the Quebec Outaouais in December 19
 91 and the subsequent immunization campaign (under the name Mishra).\n\nDr
 . Bouchez has an MD degree and a pediatric certification from Lille 2 (Fra
 nce)\, an MPH from UC Berkeley (minor in Maternal and Child Health)\, a CS
 PQ in Community Health and a certification in Occupational Health from Lyo
 n 1 (France).\n
