Section: Overall Objectives

Life science partnerships

A second important objective of GenScale is to create and maintain permanent partnerships with other life science research groups. As a matter of fact, the collaboration with genomic research teams is of crucial importance for validating our tools, and for capturing new trends in the bioinformatics domain. Our approach is to actively participate in solving biological problems (with our partners) and to get involved in a few challenging genomic projects.

Partnerships are mainly supported by collaborative projects (such as ANR projects or ITN European projects) in which we act as bioinformatics partners either for bringing our expertise in that domain or for developing ad hoc tools.
