Claude Hannoun, a professor from the Institut Pasteur in Paris, will give a public lecture commemorating the famous Louis Pasteur at the University of California, Davis, on Monday, Oct. 30. The talk, entitled "The Legacy of Louis Pasteur," is part of a yearlong celebration of the scientist's work on the 100th anniversary of his death. Pasteur is most widely remembered for creating the first successful treatment of rabies and for introducing the process of pasteurization of wine and beer to destroy bacteria and other microorganisms. The lecture will be at 4:10 p.m. in 180 Med Sci Bldg. C. Hannoun feels Pasteur's most important scientific contributions are not as well known as his other work, because they deal with the principles of molecular structure, causality of disease, vaccination and immunology. Also, he thinks it is important to note how Pasteur contributed to the introduction of the proper use of rational, experimental and critical analysis for a scientific approach to research. Hannoun calls Pasteur "one of the fathers of modern scientific methods." At the Institut Pasteur, Hannoun works in the Viral Ecology Unit. His studies focus on virological and epidemiological studies on "arboviruses" and influenza. He is interested in the national and international development of surveillance networks for early detection of influenza epidemics. Hannoun's campus visit is sponsored by the Division of Biological Sciences, as part of its Major Issues in Modern Biology lecture series, and by the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology and the Pasteur Foundation. In addition, Shields Library will exhibit a display on Pasteur through Nov. 10.
