Following changes within the supervisory authorities governing the core facility Genomic Eenvironmental and Humaine (GEH), the team decided to have a new identity.

GEH therefore becomes EcogeneO !

These important changes have several consequences, starting with a shift in the scientific center of gravity of the core facility. From now on, our activities will mainly focus on environmental themes.

Obviously, this will in no way prevent us from working with healthcare players, in particular if our methods and equipment are adapted to their projects, such as our Single-Cell activities for example.

One of the first steps is to move some of our equipment. The first of them, the Miseq 2, will leave the Rennes University Hospital in order to reach the Beaulieu campus. This will take place on January 26, 2021. EcogeneO warmly thanks the Ecochim core facility for temporarily hosting this equipment in its premises.

The rest of the equipment (Veriti and Biorad thermal cyclers, micropipettes, etc.) will be moved gradually during the year, with the aim of not hindering users and their experiments.
