An Institute that fights genetic diseases
Taken separately, genetic diseases are very rare, even exceptional, but throughout Europe, they affect 35 million people. In France, 3 million French people are affected, that is nearly one in 20.
Today, Imagine is focused on its ambition to change the lives of families affected by genetic diseases.
Prise en charge des patients à Necker
Imagine est un centre de recherche et de soins tourné vers l’innovation, qui possède le formidable avantage d’être sur le campus de l’Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades AP-HP.
La prise en charge et le suivi des enfants s’effectue donc au sein des services cliniques de Necker. L’Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades AP-HP propose aux patients des consultations de différentes spécialités et différents soins de support pour améliorer leur prise en charge au rez-de-chaussée d’Imagine.
Clinical research
Clinical research is a vital link in the roll-out of knowledge and scientific innovations. Imagine has made it one of its priorities.
To accelerate the availability of its discoveries, Imagine Institute gives additional resources to researchers and deploys clinical research programs. Indeed, clinical research is a key stage in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches improving patient care.
Progress in clinical research
To envisage curing a genetic disease, we must first be able to name it and understand its mechanism. Three stage are needed to achieve a diagnosis and then be able to develop a treatment. To get there, teams at Imagine collaborate within and across disciplines.
