Prof. Ines Thiele, researcher at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) at the University of Luxembourg has been selected for the highly prestigious research funding of the European Research Council (ERC).

The head of the LCSB group “Molecular Systems Physiology” and ATTRCT fellow of the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) has been awarded an “ERC Starting Grant” for her project “Bug the Drug”. Ines Thiele’s project is to develop novel computer models that will assist in the personalisation of drugs used in cancer therapy or for treating Parkinson’s disease, so that the best drug for each individual patient can be prescribed. The basis for the models will be data on the patients’ dietary habits and the composition of their bacterial gut flora. This should help to reduce side effects and intolerances. The distinguished project will be funded with 1.6 million euros over a period of five years.
