Health

An ageing population, a proliferation of chronic and neurodegenerative diseases, a growing risk of pandemics... humanity is faced with many serious public health issues. Preparing for the public health challenges of tomorrow has never been more important. As a world-class research centre, the ILL plays an activerole in shaping the medicine of t he future: its neutrons are at the heart of more personalised, targeted and effective treatments.
