With ELIXIR, the European Life Sciences Infrastructure for Biological Information, fifteen European countries have established a secure hub-and-node infrastructure in which biological data will be permanently accessible for research.

On Thursday, 7 September 2017, the Luxembourg ELIXIR node (ELIXIR-LU), an important interface in the field of translational medicine, will start its activity.

Funded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, ELIXIR-LU will henceforth allow researchers across Europe to have access to personalised biomedical data stored centrally at the Luxembourg Center for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg.

“Providing these data for other researchers and analysing them in different contexts could lead to new diagnostic methods, better therapies, or hitherto unknown approaches in the prevention of certain diseases,” stresses Dr Reinhard Schneider, head of ELIXIR-LU.
