Institut Imagine des maladies génétiques

Past mission

One of the leading European centers for research, care and teaching in genetic diseases, the Institute Imagine 's staff includes 850 of the best physicians, researchers and healthcare professionals housed in an innovative new building designed to generate synergy, located on the Necker Hospital Campus in Paris. This unprecedented continuum of expertise available in close proximity to patients allows Imagine to make discoveries for patients. The approximately 9,000 genetic diseases inventoried affect 35 million patients in Europe and 3 million in France, where 30,000 new cases are recorded every year. Close to 60% of children are undiagnosed following consultation for a genetic condition. Curative treatments have yet to be discovered for 90% of genetic diseases. The challenge of this major public health issue is twofold: diagnose and cure.
