Foundation
Founded in 1893 by Adrien Loir, it was initially made to be a rabies vaccine center. Located in rue des Tanneurs in Tunis, and now the laboratory currently does research on winemaking and diseases of the vine. A large part of the institutions prestige can be contributed to Charles Nicolle, the director between 1902-1936, who discovered the typhus virus during this period of time.
