Organisation profile

The main mission of the Department of Cancer Research is to advance the treatment options of cancer and reduce the cancer burden within the Luxembourg population and beyond. We do so through research excellence in priority areas covering the basic, translational and clinical research landscape to foster personalised medicine programs. Our activities focus on difficult to treat cancers and our teams have dedicated expertise in cancer immunology, the tumour microenvironment, tumor metabolism and neuro-oncology. We explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor progression using a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies, including multimodal omics technologies (genomics, metabolomics…), advanced immunoprofiling analyses, as well as ex vivo and in vivo imaging modalities leveraging patient data and innovative patient-derived models for cancer research.
