Centenary of the Pasteur Institute of Tunis

This broadcast commemorates a century of research in the service of public health (1893-1993). The stamp pays tribute to Charles Nicolle (1866-1936), Nobel Prize winner in medicine in 1928 for his work on typhus carried out in Tunis. The complex visual juxtaposes the portrait of the scientist, a microscope, a DNA helix and a molecular structure. This program highlights Tunisian scientific excellence and the historic role of the Pasteur Institute in the fight against infectious diseases and the development of vaccines on a Mediterranean and global scale.
