Who are we?
The first meeting of the Luxembourg Bioinformatics Network LuciLinX was held on April 2 at 2h30 pm at CRP-Santé by representatives of the major public and private research institutions active in the field of bioinformatics in Luxembourg.
These are:
- Centre de Recherche Public - Santé, the public research center for healthcare, public health and biotechnology
- Centre de Recherche Public - Henri Tudor, the public research center Henri Tudor, and more specifically its SANTEC department for healthcare technologies
- Centre de Recherche Public - Gabriel Lippmann, the public research center Lippmann, and more specifically its Department 'Environment and Agro-biotechnologies' (EVA), "devoted to applied scientific research and technological development, as well as permanent technology transfer and high-level training"
- The University of Luxembourg, especially the Faculty of Sciences, Technology and Communication, Life Sciences Research Unit
- The "Laboratoire de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire du Cancer" LBMCC, focusing on molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in cancer development
The network has two principal goals:
- promote communication between bioinformaticians in Luxembourg
- increase the national and international visibility of bioinformatics research and applications in Luxembourg
The network meets when topics need to be discussed and decisions taken, and is in contact in the meanwhile by means of a mailing list.
The network will also organise from 2008 on an annual symposium / workshop aimed at exchanging latest results and ongoing project information with local as well as international colleagues.
Other activities include an active website, mailing list, presence at student and career fairs, participation in international bioinformatics conferences...
