The CIEC is part of the National Centre for Excellence in Research in Parkinson’s Disease (www.parkinson.lu), a research program established by the Fond National de la Recherche. Along with the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg, the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL) and the Integrated Biobank of Luxembourg (IBBL), we aim to find new ways for an earlier diagnosis and better treatment against Parkinson’s disease. People with and without Parkinson’s disease can take part in this clinical research programme.
