The Clinical Research Associate (CRA) participates to the overall care of adult patients followed at the Reference Centers for Adult Neurometabolic diseases and Adult Leukodystrophies coordinated by Prof. Fanny Mochel.

Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) result from a genetic deficiency of an enzyme or transporter involved in given metabolic pathways. Identifying them is crucial, as several IMDs are treatable, and their management can save lives in the short term and change the neurological prognosis in the medium and long term.
