DESCRIPTION:At the Large Hardon Collider (LHC)\, in ultra-relativistic col
 lisions of heavy ions\, nuclear matter undergoes a phase transition to a s
 tate where quarks and gluons are not confined inside hadrons\, the Quark G
 luon Plasma (QGP).\n\nHeavy-flavour hadrons and quarkonia are considered v
 ery useful tools to study the QGP properties: they are produced in the ini
 tial hard scattering processes and they experience the full evolution of t
 he system. While traversing the hot medium\, heavy quarks lose energy and 
 therefore they carry information on the interaction mechanisms inside the 
 medium. Quarkonium states can be linked to the QGP temperature\, since dif
 ferent states may dissociate at different temperatures.\n\nIn order to dis
 entangle effects of the QGP from those caused by the cold nuclear matter\,
  it is necessary to compare the PbPb measurements with those obtained in p
 -Pb and pp collisions.\n\nA review of the experimental results from the LH
 C Run1 on heavy-flavour hadron and quarkonium measurements will be present
 ed as well as a perspective for the coming years\, particularly focusing o
 n the recently started heavy-ion program at the LHCb experiment.\n
