LUXEMBOURG INSTITUTE OF HEALTH
LIH’s mission is to generate and translate research knowledge into clinical applications with an impact on the future challenges of healthcare and personalised medicine. The institute is organised in three departments and several scientific support structures.
Founded in 2003, the University of Luxembourg is the only public university of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Multilingual, international, and research-oriented, it is also a modern institution with a personal atmosphere.
Combining molecular, cellular, and computational approaches, research at the University of Luxembourg’s Life Sciences and Medicine Research Unit focuses on the fundamental understanding of biological processes relevant to human diseases to make use of it for biomedical applications.
The Luxembourg Centre of Systematic Bioscience is an interdisciplinary research center accelerating biomedical research by closing the link between systems biology and biomedical research. Collaboration between biologists, medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists, engineers, and mathematicians is offering new insights into complex systems like cells, organs, and organisms. These insights are essential for understanding principal mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and for developing new tools in diagnostics and therapy.
The Laboratoire national de santé (LNS) is a public institution that operates under the Ministry of Health in Luxembourg. Its mission is to act as a national diagnostic and reference laboratory as well as to develop analytical activities and scientific expertise related to the prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring of human diseases such as cancer.
CENTRE HOSPITALIER DE LUXEMBOURG
The Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL) is a regional center for diagnostic, care, treatment, and hospitalisation with a focus on research and education. CHL has a multidisciplinary team of doctors and caregivers that provides dedicated treatment and support for cancer patients. The CHL holds strong links and long-term collaborations with LIH.
