Our staff members combine their expertise in a broad spectrum of disciplines &#8211; from computational biology to clinical and experimental neuroscience \u2013 to study the brain and its diseases. We work together with scientific partners worldwide and carry out collaborative projects with hospitals and research-oriented companies.<br><br>Despite tremendous progress in medicine in the last decades, doctors are still unable to treat many brain diseases at their root. The reason? We have not yet understood in detail how these diseases arise. Particularly as the earliest changes in the brain happen decades before any clinical symptoms appear. This is where we focus our research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/news-overview\/?fq_news-taxonomies-organisation%5B%5D=luxembourg-centre-for-systems-biomedicine-lcsb%7CLuxembourg+Centre+for+Systems+Biomedicine+%28LCSB%29%7COrganisation\"\n                target=\"_blank\"\n        class=\"btn btn--secondary\"\n            >News<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/events-overview\/?events-taxonomies-organisation=luxembourg-centre-for-systems-biomedicine-lcsb%7CLuxembourg+Centre+for+Systems+Biomedicine+%28LCSB%29%7COrganisation&#038;fq_events-taxonomies-date%5B%5D=date-in-the-future%7CIn+the+future%7CDate&#038;fq_events-taxonomies-organisation%5B%5D=luxembourg-centre-for-systems-biomedicine-lcsb%7CLuxembourg+Centre+for+Systems+Biomedicine+%28LCSB%29%7COrganisation\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--secondary\"\n            >Events<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/lcsb-en\/contact\/\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--secondary\"\n            >Contact<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper w-full md:w-auto px-16\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper flex flex-col items-center\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h4 has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"more-info\"\n    >\nMore info<\/h2>\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-button-highlight-square\"\n    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165437\/LCSB_AnnualReport_2025_Web.pdf\"\n    target=\"_blank\"\n>\n    <span class=\"btn-highlight-square__container\">\n        <div class=\"btn-highlight-square__body\">\n    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--download-link icon--xl\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--download-link\"><\/use><\/svg>    <span class=\"btn btn--dark\">\n        \n<span class=\"btn__name wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Annual report 2025<\/span>    <\/span>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image image-bg object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165636\/LCSB_AR2025_Cover.png\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165636\/LCSB_AR2025_Cover-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165636\/LCSB_AR2025_Cover-816x1024.png 816w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165636\/LCSB_AR2025_Cover-768x964.png 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/03165636\/LCSB_AR2025_Cover.png 1052w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/4; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>    <\/span>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"py-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"understanding-complex-biological-systems\"\n    >\nUnderstanding complex biological systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The human body is a complex biological system which is in constant interplay with the environment.
