Lille Integrated Genomic Advanced Network

LIGAN PM
Biology and health Platform Precision health

Our LIGAN-PM platform is dedicated to human genome sequencing and combines a range of technologies in the field of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), allowing us to respond to various projects (medium/high throughput/very high throughput) in genotyping, sequencing, transcriptomics and bioinformatics and statistical analysis. Our platform is dedicated to precision medicine. In particular, we use NGS and genotyping tools to identify genetic predisposing factors to diabetes and obesity, in order to better understand the mechanisms of onset and complications of these pathologies, and to find an adequate treatment according to the genetic heritage of each patient. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise. Our laboratory is ISO15189 certified for the diagnosis of diabetes and associated diseases (obesity, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, etc.).
