🆕 #HorizonEurope: Spotlight on two successful projects recently launched in #Luxembourg 🌟 As of July 2024, Luxembourg applicants have secured €178.59 million in Horizon Europe funding, of which 25% has gone to research centres and 15% to the University of Luxembourg. 🔎 Discover two standout Horizon Europe Projects: 🔹 AMUSENS Horizon Europe project 101130159 is coordinated by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and aims to expand the range of materials available and demonstrate their #sustainability in wafer-scale processing 🔹 HealthyW8 is coordinated by the Luxembourg Institute of Health and aims to enhance #obesity prevention in #Europe by developing a digital #healthylifestyle recommendation system that personalises interventions. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNxdCr7v European Commission, EU Science, Research and Innovation, Luxinnovation GIE #PersonalisedHealthCare #PersonalisedMedicine #Innovation #AI #GasSensors #EnvironmentalMonitoring #IndustrialSafety

🍳Do you know the connection between #AI and an omelette? And between miniskirts and cookie banners?🍪 🔎The answer is not about food, it is about #DataEthics! Dr Carlos Vega is quite used to drawing powerful analogies to make students understand his lectures on Applied #PhilosophyOfScience and Data Ethics at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine - University of Luxembourg. Ethics that applies in his daily #research work at the Luxembourg Institute of Health in the field of #DigitalHealth. 🤖With the ever-growing presence of #generativeAI and the vast amounts of #data available online, grey areas and ethical dilemmas are emerging. Carlos Vega explores the practical challenges of data collection, processing and visualisation. 🎙️Listen to the latest SciLux episode to discover how #philosophy intersects with #DataScience and the importance of control over our data➡️ https://lnkd.in/e47nvA2e ℹ️Dr Vega even recently won an award at the Luxembourg #ScienceWriting Competition - organised by science.lu from the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and DESCOM project from the University of Luxembourg - for his article "The weakness of AI and science – explained with an omelet".

🫀In both Europe and worldwide, #Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability. 🔬At the Luxembourg Institute of Health, Miron Sopic is investigating the links between various #RNA molecules, their modifications, and #CardiovascularDiseases in order to improve treatment. More specifically, Miron’s postdoctoral project centers on #epitranscriptomics, a relatively new field of study. His current project is exploring whether a specific type of RNA modification, known as #m6A (methylated adenosine), can be used to stratify patients with myocardial infarction. 🌐Together with Yvan Devaux, Miron Sopić is also involved in the COST Action AtheroNET, which focuses on the application of #multiomics tools to improve the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). ⭐In #Luxembourg, Miron has found a place with a strong emphasis on translating #research into real-world applications, particularly through #collaboration with the private sector. The country's research ecosystem is designed to foster innovation and facilitate the commercialisation of scientific discoveries. #MSCAPF #CVDS #ResearchLuxembourg #TranslationalMedicine #PersonalisedHealthcare MSCA SE CardioSCOPE https://lnkd.in/ed7spFHc

📢New #Research Centre in #Luxembourg: Prof Ralf Seppelt appointed Director of the Luxembourg Centre for Socio-Environmental Systems (LCSES)🌿 The new Interdisciplinary Centre (IC) will focus on the study of complex #EnvironmentalSystems, addressing critical ecological, environmental, and sustainability challenges. Welcome to the #ResearchLuxembourg team Prof. Seppelt! ℹ️In addition to its research faculties, the University of Luxembourg has already created 4 such ICs:   - the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) - University of Luxembourg for Medicine & Health - the SnT, Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust for Digital Transformation - the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) - University of Luxembourg for Contemporary History - the Luxembourg Centre for European Law (LCEL) - University of Luxembourg for Law

🧠"If there is potentially a link to mitochondrial signalling, and we could influence that, then it could be a solution to #Parkinsonsdisease." 🔬#Mitochondria, often referred to as "the powerhouses of the cell," are integral to cellular energy production. But their role goes far beyond that. At the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) - University of Luxembourg, Prof. Anne Grünewald is leading ground-breaking research in the field of #mitochondrialbiology, particularly in the context of #neurodegenerativediseases. Her #research work provides insights that could potentially pave the way for revolutionary treatments. 🎙️Learn more in the latest - and first episode of the new season - SciLux podcast➡️ https://lnkd.in/eB9uxmMd Over the years, #Luxembourg has positioned itself at the forefront of international #research in the field of #neurodegeneration.
