Research at INEM is focusing on common diseases caused by the interplay of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors. These diseases primarily affect children and the young, and encompass (auto)immune disorders, haematological diseases, infectious diseases, kidney diseases, cystic fibrosis, endocrinological disorders and metabolic diseases. The INEM teams apply insights obtained through basic and clinical research to develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
For over 40 years, the development of renal transplants and bone marrow transplants, the phenotyping of autoimmune diseases and genetic diseases, allowed most of the major medical advances of today. The major asset of the Institute Necker-Enfants Malades comes from the plurality of skills, the freedom and creativity of its researchers, their desire to diversify their research topics.
Translational activities will be pursued and promoted as much as possible. Indeed, this group of PIs has filed 24 patents, 4 of which are licenced to pharmaceutical companies. 13 R&D contracts have been signed with industry and 3 start-up companies incorporated with one of the above PIs as founder. To further strengthen the link with the socio-economic world, we intend to devote one floor of our research building to hosting private entities, either small companies or teams from bigger pharmaceutical industr
