TOGETHER,
LET'S TURN HOPE INTO GENETIC ADVANCES
Our Mission
The GENeHOPE Fund aims to accelerate research on genetic diseases, improve diagnosis and access to treatments, raise awareness and mobilize the public, while also providing essential support to patients and their loved ones.
GENeHOPE was born out of the desire to bring together top scientific talent and launch large-scale research projects with the best geneticists from Belgium and beyond.

A Shared Ambition
“GENeHOPE is an outstanding model of collaboration and a source of hope for many genetic diseases.”
Anne De Paepe
Honorary Rector of Ghent University and Professor
“Together, we will radically advance research. Together, we will push the boundaries of knowledge for the benefit of patients and their families.”
Jean-Baptiste and Hortense Van Ex
Founders of GENeHOPE
“GENeHOPE is a cross-border programme. It amplifies the power of research, enabling results to grow exponentially.”
Stanislas Lyonnet
Professor of Genetics at the University of Paris Cité and Director of the Imagine Institute (2016-2024)
“The funds raised by GENeHOPE enable us not only to finance existing research programs, but also new research that is difficult to fund. The agility and speed of access to these funds is a considerable advantage. This reinforces the core of the mission of the King Baudouin Foundation, strengthening additionality.”
Sofie Bekaert
Head of Health Programme, King Baudouin Foundation
