Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, scientists from the University of Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Institute of Health, the Laboratoire National de Santé, LIST and LISER as well as laboratories and hospitals have joined forces under the umbrella of RESEARCH LUXEMBOURG to help in the fight against the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Many Luxembourg-based scientists have initiated research projects focusing on the topic of COVID-19, notably on studies to gain a better understanding on the prevalence of the disease in Luxembourg, and to identify risk factors and biomarkers associated with severe symptoms and long-terms consequences of the disease. And by helping to model the evolution of the pandemic in Luxembourg, scientists are helping to shape informed decisions about confinement and exit strategies.
The CON-VINCE (COvid-19 National survey for assessing VIral spread by Non-affected CarriErs) study, aims to evaluate the prevalence, dynamics and penetrance of the SARS-CoV-2 infection within the Luxembourg population.
The Predi-COVID study focuses on identifying important risk factors and biomarkers related to the severity of COVID-19 and the long-term health consequences of the disease in Luxembourg.
The simulation study, develops statistical projections and models of the pandemic to understand the impact of different scenarios and to inform the Luxembourg government and thereby support decision making.
