The Luxembourg National Node, represented by the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), a leading translational research institute based in Luxembourg, acts as an integrated hub combining experimental biology, multi-omics technologies, clinical research support, and advanced data science, contributing to high-quality, interoperable, and patient-centred biomedical and paediatric research by aligning its activities with European research infrastructures and FAIR data principles to accelerate innovation across Europe.
LIH provides integrated expertise in experimental, computational, and clinical research, supporting national and international academic and industrial partners in the field of health and biomedical sciences, with a strong focus on paediatric and precision medicine applications. LIH offers a comprehensive portfolio of services covering the entire translational research and innovation lifecycle, including experimental disease modelling, high-throughput pharmacology, omics-based profiling, bioinformatics and AI-driven data analysis, clinical study support, regulatory and ethical guidance, and FAIR-compliant data management and integration. Through its multidisciplinary infrastructure, LIH enables seamless integration of biological, clinical, and computational data to support robust and reproducible biomedical research. Through its advanced platforms in patient-derived organoid and spheroid models, epigenetics, microbiome research, and computational biology, LIH contributes to the development of innovative approaches for disease characterisation, biomarker discovery, and drug response profiling. The Institute also provides structured support for clinical research activities, including study design, site coordination, sample and data management, and compliance with regulatory and ethical requirements.
