Background

The region has a population of 1.2 million. In terms of health, the region's strengths lie in its large hospital-hospital hub and the high concentration of people with varied socio-cultural profiles. This provides a breeding ground for clinical trials and collaborations between different scientific disciplines (engineering sciences, life sciences, etc.).

Medical research in the region is recognized in oncology, chronic and neurodegenerative diseases, medical devices and medical engineering. The objective of the strategic field of activity "Personalized Medicine and Wellness" is therefore to capitalize on these assets in order to improve the performance of care and the quality of life of patients. There is a focus on the development of personalized therapies and services, improving the hospital-to-home care chain (e-health) and prevention, by improving the environmental quality of life.
