The Vascular Medicine Department of the Montpellier University Hospital is a national referral centre for rare lymphatic and vascular anomalies within the FAVA-Multi network and a LERN Comprehensive Centre for Primary Lymphoedema. Active areas of research are conducted in collaboration with colleagues from 12 countries under the umbrella of the ILF for the LIMPRINT Program and psychosocial research for children with Lymphoedema. Characterization of the natural history of the various genetic lymphatic anomalies and the development of new personalized therapeutic approaches are conducted in collaboration with the Lymphoedema Research Group in the laboratory of Pr Miikka Vikkula and the laboratory of Pr Laurence Boon at the Centre for Vascular and Lymphatic Anomalies, both located at the Université Catholique de Louvain.
