Our laboratory is a joint research unit of INSERM and the University of Aix-Marseille. We seek to decipher the complex biological mechanisms involved in the development or physiological functioning of an organism. Our research project is organized around two axes, one entitled "bioinformatics and genomics of molecular networks", the second "genetics and genomics of multifactorial diseases". We conduct not only basic research projects, but also collaborative projects with hospitals and biotech companies. This policy is fully in line with INSERM's strategic plan. Our ambition is both to contribute to a better understanding of complex biological systems and ultimately to participate in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic treatment strategies, including those aimed at the personalization of disease treatment. In addition, we are strongly involved in the university training from bachelor to doctorate. At the master's and doctoral level, we are mainly involved in the teaching of genomics and bioinformatics, and are responsible for several units and training courses.
