Sumario:Precision measurements in charm physics offer a window into a unique sector of potential New Physics interactions. LHCb is an experiment designed for the high-statistics study of flavour physics. The conditions of the 2010-11 run of LHC are especially conducive to the collection of charm events, with a very large data-set already attained in 2010. First charm results will be shown using data collected at LHCb in pp collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, including measurements of the production cross-section and characterisation of the signal samples in key decay modes. The prospects for measurements of CP violation, mixing, and rare decays of charm mesons at LHCb will also be presented.
