Established in XXX and formerly named Center of Vaccines Trials, the organism has engaged itself in the realization of clinical trials in the domain of research.

In 2002, the center functionally associates to the Pasteur Institute and becomes the Center Cochin-Pasteur of Vaccines Trial. This association allows the center to proceed to the realization of vaccine trials having a preventive and therapeutic purpose.

In 2005, as part of the INSERM and DHOS’s integrated CIC’s tender in biotherapy, the CIC Cochin-Pasteur acquires the label of a CIC in vaccinology integrated in biotherapy.
