On 26 September 2017, Clinnova, a new Centre of Excellence in Digital Health and Personalised Medicine has been kicked-off in Luxembourg. Its main aim is to build a bridge between fundamental research and hospitals and ensure lab innovations reach clinical implementation and thereby benefit patients.
Clinnova is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and will team up with international research centers.
The Luxembourg Minister of Health, Lydia Mutsch, said in her welcome speech that life sciences and healthcare sector are important pillars of Luxembourg’s diversification strategy. She also reminded that personalized medicine has been a priority for many years and that Luxembourg, during its 2015 EU Presidency, established personalized medicine as one of the key topics in the EU.
