On Friday, October 15, the LNS was officially hosting the medical students of the recently established Bachelor of Medicine (BMED) from the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine at University of Luxembourg. During three afternoon sessions, the second year medical students of the program will be familiarized with the work of the professional teams of the Laboratoire national de santé.

The LNS team, composed by experts from the Department of Microbiology and the National Centers of Genetics and Pathology, introduced the students to the practical work on site by introducing them to various techniques, short case studies and scientific approaches. With this, the students should acquire first knowledge about what the key missions of the LNS are, what techniques are applied in the diagnostic procedures and how the workflow and communication around patient samples and clinical information can be structured best.
