Institut Pasteur is a nonprofit foundation and international leader
in biomedical research, focusing on the research advancement
of human health and medical progress. Institut Pasteur has an
existing network of 33 centers across the globe and is opening its
first location in the United States at the University of California
San Francisco (UCSF). The Institut Pasteur-UCSF QBI Center
of Excellence in Emerging Infectious Diseases will use artificial
intelligence (AI) to track and identify emerging or reemerging
infectious diseases. The client engaged the Capstone team to
research the relevant use of AI across the United States, from current
projects tackling infectious diseases to broader applications for
revolutionizing medicine. The team’s final report includes a research
review and landscape analysis, along with recommendations to
inform the strategy of the forthcoming Institut Pasteur-UCSF QBI
Center of Excellence in Emerging Infectious Diseases and ensure
that the foundation remains competitive in the field.
