GenoA core facility leans on the research teams in human genetics and genomics at the institut du thorax. One of the scientific aims of these teams is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular pathologies (sudden death, arrhythmias, valvulopathies, cerebral aneurysms).

The analysis strategies used are based on high-throughput genomic screening technologies coupled with the development supported by BiRD of new dedicated bioinformatics tools, with the aim of identifying new risk markers in these pathologies.
