Ahmed Haouz is a researcher at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, affiliated with the Center for Technological Resources and Research (C2RT) and the Department of Structural Biology and Chemistry. He serves as Head of Structure, leading a platform that provides expertise in macromolecular crystallography, automated crystallization, and X-ray diffraction services. His work supports numerous research groups within the institute and external collaborators, contributing to structural studies of proteins, DNA complexes, and drug targets.
His research interests span Structural Biology, Macromolecular Crystallography, Protein-DNA Interactions, Infectious Diseases, and Drug Design. He applies X-ray crystallography and structural bioinformatics to understand molecular mechanisms in pathogens such as Plasmodium (malaria), poxviruses, and bacteria, and to support rational drug development.
His recent publications (2024–2025) reveal a strong focus on structural mechanisms in virology, oncology, immunology, and parasitology. These include studies on antiviral drugs, malaria inhibitors, DNA repair enzymes, and immune responses to anesthetic drugs. The work demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration across immunology, cancer biology, and structural biophysics.
