‘Precision health’ hub logo

The aim of this topic area hub is to make the Lille site one of the world’s leaders in precision medicine, and to place it at the forefront of translational biomedical research in Europe.

 

The aim of the ‘Precision health’ hub is to galvanise the work being carried out in a wide range of disciplines to create a network of internationally recognised researchers specialising in clinical sciences, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry, bioinformatics, mathematics and computer science, as well as social and environmental sciences.

By promoting cutting-edge collaborative projects, the target institution aims to strengthen and extend its current perimeter of excellence by harnessing the digital revolution and optimising its impact for patients and society, so that lifelong precision medicine becomes the new therapeutic standard.

The hub’s challenges

Promoting systems biology and precision medicine

Catalysing the digital revolution in biomedical research

Optimising the impact on patients and society

 

Cross-Disciplinary Projects

The Cross-Disciplinary Projects (CDP) aim to exploit the interdisciplinary mission of the topic area hubs to address the challenges of transitions. These projects closely link research and education. The CDPs help to raise the university’s profile, enhance its influence and consolidate its position as a stakeholder at the service of society.

WILL international chairs

As part of the France 2030 project WILL (Welcoming Internationals to Lille), the University of Lille funds international chairs. These chairs create high-level collaborations between a foreign senior principal investigator (PI), who is an expert in his or her field, and a research team at the University of Lille.
