NEXTIMMUNE, standing for “Next Generation ImmunoScience: Advanced Concepts for Deciphering Acute and Chronic Inflammation”, is a competitive PhD training program, supported by the doctoral research funding scheme PRIDE of the Luxembourg National Research Fund FNR. It aims to bridge classical immunology and big-data analysis science in a structured doctoral training environment.

Luxembourg is a dynamic multicultural country in the heart of Europe with a strong research and development culture supported by important financial and organisational resources. It offers state-of-the-art facilities and an excellent training environment for early-stage researchers, in particular in life sciences and systems biomedicine.

The research-intensive program, by tackling next-generation immunology challenges from wet-lab procedures to big data, aims to respond to the unmet need of training the next generation of competent immunologists in an interdisciplinary environment covering analysis of “omics” and clinical data, as well as basic and translational biomedical knowledge, and their practical application to diagnosis and ultimately therapy. The program includes transferable skills training, support in career development, scientific lectures by international speakers and annual PhD retreats.
