About us
In 2010, the University of Namur and the CHU UCL Mont-Godinne Dinant decided to combine their strengths and created the NAmur Research Institute for LIfe Sciences (NARILIS).
NARILIS is a centre of excellence in multidisciplinary life science research, with a regional anchorage point around Namur.
Providing leadership locally and globally, NARILIS is involved in fundamental and clinical research, technology, scholarship and student mobility, combining cutting-edge multidisciplinary approaches with collaborative on- and off-campus partners.
A typical team is composed of a nurse, a physician, a physicist, a chemist and a biologist - each having specialized knowledge - altough the composition of the teams may actually vary.
