Webinar: Digital Health Data in Personalized Medicine (Codex4SMEs)

The LIH is conducting patient centeredtranslational research in close collaboration with Luxembourg Hospitals andclinical centers in cross-border region. The goal is to realizebed-to-bench-to-bed translational cycles, that start with unmet patient needsand use data driven research with patient-based models to drive programs backinto clinical application. While the IBBL as an integrated Biobank is the centerpiece of LIHs translational effort, the translational medicine effort isincluding a number of additional platforms from clinical trial design, overquantitative biology units to screening platforms for patient based diseasemodels. The position is integrating the operational management of extendedtranslational research programs.

The first of a total of 60 patients from Luxembourg foreseen to take part in the European clinical trial “Discovery” was recruited today at the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL).

Dr Manon Gantenbein is the current Director of the Clinical and Epidemiological Investigation Centre (CIEC) of the LIH Department of Population Health.

As part of its exit strategy, the Luxembourg government can count on the support of Luxembourg research, namely the Research Luxembourg COVID-19 Task Force.

On Monday, April 27th, the first PhD defence under the CANBIO doctoral research and training programme took place at the premises of the University of Luxembourg in Belval.

The Research Luxembourg COVID-19 task force announces the start of “Predi-COVID ”, a study that aims to identify important risk factors and biomarkers associated with COVID-19 severity and long-term health consequences of the disease in Luxembourg.

André Losch Fondation announced its participation in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting Research Luxembourg with one of its most significant donations yet. The foundation’s commitment of 1,4 million euros will help financing three COVID-19 studies currently underway in Luxembourg: the CON-VINCE study, aiming to evaluate the dynamics of the spread of the disease within Luxembourg; the Predi-COVID study, dedicated to finding predictive markers for disease severity; and a study that develops statistical projections and modelling of the epidemic. On top of this André Losch Fondation will also provide financing for four vans that will allow nurses to collect tissue samples of study participants, thereby sparing them a trip to the hospital.
