About LNS
The “Laboratoire national de santé” (LNS) is a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Health in Luxembourg. LNS is organized as a multidisciplinary institute and supported by a professional services team, the LNS includes four scientific departments in the fields of medical biology, microbiology, forensic medicine, and health protection, in addition to hosting the National Center of Pathology and the National Center of Genetics.
The LNS is based at Dudelange, with state of the art, modern infrastructure in line with recent developments in medical sciences. Its objective is to develop scientific and analytical expertise related to the prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring of human diseases. Its ultimate mission is to serve patients and citizens and offer excellence in health care.
The National Center of Genetics (NCG), at the Laboratoire National de Santé, is responsible for human genetic care in Luxembourg. One of the goals of the NCG is to build up genomic medicine and precision oncology, using a state of the art sequencing facility, and to provide high-level health care to the Luxembourgish population. The NCG is a major stakeholder of two national public health programs: the Plan National Maladie Rare and the Plan National Cancer.
The Hematooncogenetics Unit focuses on the hematological malignancies. The broad spectrum of methods includes cytogenetic, molecular cytogenetic (FISH), molecular genetics and if necessary microarray analyses.
Main activities:
? Participating in the daily management of the laboratory
? genetic diagnostics and reporting with focus on tumor cytogenetics
? cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic activities (evaluation of metaphases as well as FISH analyses and preparation of findings) in hematological neoplasms
? Participate in the development of research projects and applying scientific knowledge in expanding the diagnostic and research portfolio of the NCG
? Seek funding from national (FNR) and international funding bodies including writing scientific proposals
? Planning, interpretation and reporting of molecular genetic examinations, especially from next generation sequencing
