The Pasteur Institute of Iran was inaugurated on
August 24, 1921 in Tehran. This new institution was
established on the request of the Iranian
government with the agreement and scientific
support of the French authorities under the
supervision of Professor Pierre Paul Emile Roux
(1853 – 1933), the General Director of the Paris
Pasteur Institute of the time. The Iranian institute
was inaugurated 33 years after the original institute
was established in Paris on November 14, 1888.
In this article, we will review briefly the founding
of the Pasteur Institute of Iran, its early French
directors and the main services it rendered in the
first four decades of its activity.
