WEBINAR: Lecture series Cancer Research: "Targeting DNA repair: from basic biology to clinical trials"- Prof Thomas Helleday

To be part of the Neuro-Immunology Group (Head: Dr. A. Michelucci) within the Department of Oncolgy at the LIH, we are currently looking for a PhD student.

In a new study led by the Immune Systems Biology research group of the LIH Department of Infection and Immunity, researchers adopted a holistic machine-learning approach to elucidate how the interactions between neuronal mitochondria can serve as a powerful tool to distinguish nerve cells from Parkinson’s patients from those belonging to healthy subjects, thereby providing new insights in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this neurodegenerative disorder. The results were published today in the renowned journal ‘Nature Partner Journals Systems Biology and Application’.

WEBINAR: Lecture series Cancer Research: "Mechanisms driving cell plasticity in the colorectal tumor microenvironment"- Prof Florian Greten

The NORLUX Neuro-Oncology Laboratory at the LIH Department of Oncology (DONC), in collaboration with the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL), the Laboratoire National de Santé (LNS), the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg and other international partners, established a large collection of patient-derived glioma organoids and xenograft models that mimic the specific features of patient brain tumours. These tools will allow the establishment of personalised drug efficacy studies, thus increasing the chances of success of clinical trials and improving clinical outcomes for patients. The findings were presented in a recent publication in the international peer-reviewed journal Acta Neuropathologica.

The administrative assistant will be part of the Clinical andEpidemiological Investigation Center (CIEC) group in the Department ofPopulation Health.
