Genoscreen, 10 years of development and innovation

Since 2001, Genoscreen develops and performs innovative genomic services activities to answer the needs of lifesciences research laboratories (DNA, RNA and genomes sequencing, molecular markers genotyping, bioinformatics). The company contributes increasingly to the engineering and realization of many research projects led by academic and industrial teams.

Genoscreen works on all kind of genomes (human, animal, plant and micro-organisms), which allows it to consider the broader fields of applications for the technologies it proposes: human health, agriculture, agro-food, environment, but also pharmaceuticals and other biotechnologies companies.

Genoscreen’s research programs, conducted in partnership with research teams of the Institut Pasteur de Lille, the INSERM and the INRA, enable to develop new applications in highly competitive fields such as the genetics of Alzheimer's disease, the molecular typing of micro-organisms and the monitoring of biodiversity.

Lille, a center of scientific expertise at the crossroads of Europe

Lille has a strategic position: as the first industrial region of France and the first European university hospital complex, the city's economic dynamism is reinforced by the presence of many clusters, especially in the field of biology by the Nutrition - Health -Longevity cluster. The Institut Pasteur de Lille, the campus we are located on, allows Genoscreen to be in constant interaction with a network of scientific expertise and advanced technology.

Lille is at the crossroads of an active network of European cities (Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne ...) and has 2 stations and an international airport. In terms of internationalization, Lille is the second French city to host international headquarters.
