INSTITUT IMAGINE – RESEARCH FOR THE GENETIC DISEASES
InstitutImagine is the first centre for research, treatment, and education on genetic diseases in Europe. Nearly 50% of children seen for consultation leave without a genetic diagnosis, and 85% of genetic diseases have no cure yet. With the mission to understand and treat them, the Institute brings together 1,000 of the best Doctors, Researchers, and Healthcare Professionals in one single architecture that fosters synergies and accelerate research exponentially.
This mission revolves around 4 axes: Understanding the mechanisms of diseases, Promoting research results, Innovating in care and therapy, and Transmitting knowledge through teaching and training.
THE CAUSE WE SUPPORT
The International Mobility Scholarship Program supports outstanding clinicians with a PhD in Biology to pursue research and gain experience abroad at a key moment in their careers, in pioneering laboratories with global renown in their filed.
The creation of this highly selective International Mobility Scholarship Program makes it possible for the selected physicians-researchers to leave with their family and children for a period of 1 to 3 years, and conduct research abroad in institutions of strategic interest to InstitutImagine. It gives them the best conditions to hone their skills in order to invent the best medicine of tomorrow and develop new scientific partnerships.
Target amount for pledge: HK$800,000 per scholarship
