Discover the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB)

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg. We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine – in the lab, in the clinic and in silico. We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their contributing factors. For over a decade, we have developed our expertise in several fields – from genetics to metaproteomics, from enzymology to immunology, from computational biology to cheminformatics – to tackle the growing issue represented by neurodegenerative diseases worldwide.

In the south of Luxembourg, close to neighbouring France, Belgium and Germany, new architecture and the country’s history combine into an innovative campus. Scientists find a state-of-the-art infrastructure that is constantly evolving. At the LCSB, six scientific platforms offer services to all our researchers. Be it imaging, omics, data science or animal models – we have experts and equipment in house.

Here, researchers can concentrate fully on their science: Lab support as well as administrative staff relieve LCSB’s scientists of many tasks. We also value our dynamic corporate company culture, so be prepared for teambuilding events, networking activities and more.

The LCSB cooperates closely with hospitals and healthcare professionals. We receive invaluable input from medical doctors and clinical researchers in many fields like neurology, pathology and neurosurgery. Their contribution is essential for the development of interventional therapies or new biomarker-based diagnostic tools and for testing their effectiveness in the clinic. 

We have established strategic partnerships with leading biomedical laboratories worldwide and with all major biological and medical research units in Luxembourg. The LCSB fosters collaboration with industrial partners as well and promotes the translation of fundamental research results into clinical applications.
