Co-organised by Fundación CIEN, Fundación Reina Sofía, and the Champalimaud Foundation, this scientific congress aims to bring advances in research in the fight against Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases to the public, and above all, to raise awareness to advance the search for global solutions and responses due to their social consequences.

Claes Dohlman, emeritus professor of Ophthalmology and former chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at Mass Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School, died on July 14, 2024. He was 101.

Often recognized as the “father” of modern corneal science, Dohlman shared the 2022 António Champalimaud Vision Award with Gerrit Melles, from the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery in Rotterdam.

Bridge AI is a collaborative effort involving the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Research and Development in Lisbon (INESC-ID), and Unbabel, among others. The initiative is part of the broader goal to align globally competitive AI innovation with European principles and values.

The images created during the daily scientific and medical endeavours at the Champalimaud Foundation can be as beautiful and compelling as any work of art. To the untrained eye, these images might also appear baffling, but, if you know what you’re looking at, they may just reveal information that can spark discoveries, contribute to the improvement of patient quality of life and maybe even alter our understanding of reality.

This innovative programme is designed to develop future leaders in surgical oncology by combining cutting-edge scientific research with advanced surgical training. It offers a comprehensive and flexible doctoral curriculum for surgical residents, certified surgeons, and cancer-focused gastroenterologists and oncologists.

We all have freckles and spots on our bodies of different shapes, sizes and textures. Most of these are perfectly safe and healthy, but some are not - knowing how to tell the difference could be life-saving. The CF Dermatology Unit provided this image and, with a little help from AI, let’s find out what we are looking at this week!

To familiarise health professionals with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools, so that they can apply them in their daily practice for the benefit of patients: this is the aim of the MEDICA AI conference, which will be held on July 16th at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF). The event is organised by the Digital Surgery Lab, a multidisciplinary team from the Breast Unit of the CF led by surgeon Pedro Gouveia.
