Partners

The EGEA team has developed many scientific partnerships for the analyses
and valorisation of the large amount of data collected from this research infrastructure.
The research team is currently collaborating with:

The 5 hospital university partners of the new EGEA follow-up (EGEA4)

who will be in charge of performing the examinations of EGEA4 participants from 2023 onwards. The Biological Resource Center of the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital will be in charge of storing all the biological samples of the EGEA4 follow-up.

Biological Resource Center in Lille and Dijon, France

who are storing the biological samples collected at EGEA1 and EGEA2.
