With many knowledge-intensive institutions, Western Europe is one of the leading regions in the world of Life Sciences & Health. The province of South Holland, with many companies in the Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP), the Medical Delta, and LUMC located at its core, is internationally recognized as an important Life Sciences & Health hub. Here, public and private parties work together on important (bio)medical and technological innovations and healthcare innovation.
The LUMC aims at identifying the causes for disease, improving diagnosis, prevention, and ultimately developing effective treatments. Different specialists of the LUMC collaborate with each other and with many others across the globe around research themes, because modern-day science transcends traditional borders. Combining cross-border expertise may solve biomedical problems and bring answers not found when working in a stand-alone fashion. “We are always looking for regional, European and intercontinental connections with partners that are complementary to our own objectives and that add value to fulfilling our mission of getting better at ground-breaking levels”, says Suze Kruisheer, Lead LUMC Global.
