About the LNS

The LNS is a major player in Luxembourg's healthcare sector, serving the country's patients, doctors, and hospitals. We are a multidisciplinary public institution organized around six medical departments, two of which are designated as national diagnostic centers for human genetics and pathology respectively.

We employ around 400 highly qualified staff with diverse backgrounds. Our main purpose is to develop analytical activities and scientific expertise relating to the prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring of human diseases; to act as a national control or reference laboratory; and to carry out forensic missions. We also collaborate with the University of Luxembourg and other biomedical research institutions, both nationally and internationally, on research and teaching activities.

In the field of diagnostics, we cover medical biology, microbiology, forensic medicine, environmental medicine, morphological and molecular pathology, and clinical genetics, as well as sequencing for rare diseases, oncology, and pathogens.

About the Microbiology Department

The Microbiology Department at the LNS comprises approximately 52 employees and is divided into three diagnostic services that work closely together:

  • Virology and Serology: This service focuses on the detection and analysis of viral infections and the diagnosis of syndromic infectious diseases using molecular biology and serological methods.
  • Bacteriology, Mycology, Antibiotic Resistance, and Hospital Hygiene: This service handles bacterial and fungal diagnostics, antibiotic resistance testing, and hospital hygiene.
  • Pathogen Sequencing: The department performs pathogen sequencing to understand genetic variations and track disease outbreaks.

We actively collaborate with clinicians and other organizations to improve patient outcomes. We are engaged in translational work related to European and national projects, focusing on diagnostics and surveillance and serving as a national reference laboratory for acute respiratory infections, HIV, and viral hepatitis. Our expertise also extends to enteroviruses, polioviruses, and mycobacteria, while ongoing surveillance activities also cover antimicrobial resistance and foodborne pathogens.

Our portfolio is accredited by OLAS according to the DIN EN ISO 15189 and 17025 standards.
