Our key partners

Our partner actions

The Marseille institute for rare diseases (MarMaRa) works with academic, public and private partners in multiple fields: life sciences, human and social sciences, mathematics, physics or optics. Their expertise and their complementarity provide the MarMaRa with the action resources required to implement its training and research objectives and to become a reference institute internationally.  Our key actions include: a call for projects to support collaborative projects with patient associations and working groups: the European CIVIS working group comprising 7 partner universities and the 3M (rare diseases, mutation, Mediterranean) working group co-created with the Institute for changing societies in the Mediterranean (SoMuM).

Thanks to this funding, the team has already derived hiPSCs from four patients carrying different mutations in the LAMA2 gene, and phenotypic analyses of the differentiated muscle cells are currently underway. These will enable us to identify the pathological mechanisms of LAMA2-RD in humans and new therapeutic targets.For our small LAMA2 France association, our priority is to be able to provide practical support to researcher [...]
