Imagine's Scientific Advisory Board

Made up of eminent scientists recognized worldwide, every year the Scientific Advisory Board makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees and to Imagine’s Top Management on the Institute’s scientific and strategic guidelines, including the selection of new teams, the development and organization of scientific groups, as well as assessment of their work.

Thanks to its independence and global outlook and vision as well as its experience and goodwill, the Scientific Advisory Board has the legitimacy to challenge us in our scientific and medical battles, but also in those concerning the existence and future of the Foundation. It helps us to tackle global science, to raise awareness and share our model, and to build an international network. It conducts an assessment of Imagine at the highest level, which contributes to the Institute’s excellence. The varied and complementary expertise of its members together covers the major scientific fields and current thought patterns of the Institute

I have been a member of the Imagine Scientific Advisory Board since it was established over ten years ago. I have witnessed the Institute’s development and the realization of its dream, which was to bring together all the knowledge in developmental sciences and all the expertise as regards understanding genetic diseases, in a single workspace and with a mindset that creates synergies. I do not think that this unique combination can be found anywhere else
