International biomedical research foundation with 33-member global network
Institut Pasteur is a 137-year-old nonprofit research institution headquartered in Paris, operating across infectious diseases, microbiology, immunology, and emerging brain-connectivity research. The tech stack reveals a hybrid profile: enterprise systems (SAP, Coupa) for compliance and finance automation, alongside research-grade infrastructure (Linux, Kubernetes, Python, R, Elasticsearch). Active hiring in research (17 roles) and finance (7) signals scaling of both scientific output and operational infrastructure—particularly around Coupa implementation and invoice automation—while grappling with the tension between scientific excellence and business-process discipline.

Institut Pasteur is a globally recognized nonprofit biomedical research foundation established by Louis Pasteur in 1887. It operates a 33-member international network focused on infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, immunology, cancer biology, and brain connectivity, supported by core facilities in nanoimaging, computational biology, and artificial intelligence. Beyond research, the organization runs public health programs, advanced training, and applied research commercialization. With 1,001–5,000 employees based primarily in Paris, the institution is scaling its operational and technology infrastructure—currently implementing enterprise resource planning systems and automating financial workflows—while maintaining strict compliance with research accreditation, GMP, and safety standards.
Core tools include SAP and Coupa for enterprise finance, Linux/Kubernetes/Ansible for research infrastructure, Python and R for computational biology, and Elasticsearch/Grafana/Prometheus for monitoring and analytics. Also uses ELISPOT and FIB-SEM for lab imaging.
