Celebrating 10 Years of NCER-PD
Join us at the conference on 16-17 October 2025 in Luxembourg
In 2015, the Luxembourg research community launched an ambitious initiative to transform the landscape of Parkinson’s disease research: the National Centre for Excellence in Research on Parkinson’s Disease (NCER-PD), initially funded by the Fonds National de Recherche (FNR). In 2025 we proudly celebrate a decade of groundbreaking science, clinical innovation, and close collaboration with people living with the disease, the people that support them and the wider community.
Over the past decade, NCER-PD has united Luxembourg’s top research institutions, including the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), the Integrated BioBank of Luxembourg (IBBL), and the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL). Together, we have built one of Europe’s most comprehensive Parkinson’s cohorts, developed new biomarkers for early diagnosis, and uncovered insights into mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s.
This 10 year anniversary is not just a celebration of scientific milestones, but a tribute to the hundreds of study participants, researchers, and healthcare professionals whose continuous contributions make progress possible. As we look to the future, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries in precision medicine, digital phenotyping, and personalized care, up into first nation-wide precision prevention programmes – always keeping needs of patients at the heart of what we do.
