Luxembourg Center For System Biomedicine

I worked 4 years as Project manager within the Translational Neuroscience (TN) group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine of the University of Luxembourg. In this position, I managed both national and international projects. Main tasks included liaising with groups of researchers in Luxembourg as well as international experts in the biomedicine field coordinating competitive research grants. I supportted the application processes and reporting tasks of the research projects funded by the FNR as well as other funding bodies (EC, MJFF, IMI2). I prepared and monitored the budgets of the group. Exchanging with diverse teams in different organizations, and solving disparate problematics within the Biomedicine field, strengthened my skills in prioritization and flexibility.
