What is Imegen

Instituto de Medicina Genómica is a reference

laboratory that provides specialized products and

services in the field of Medical Genetics

Imegen was founded in 2009 as an spin-off of the

University of Valencia by two scientists with more that

16 years of entrepreneurial experience in genetics and

genomics
