The Principal Investigator’s Office is a space where ideas are challenged, discoveries take shape and research moves forward.

Here, researchers get together to discuss projects, share findings and debate scientific publications. It is a space for mentoring, project management and learning – where emerging questions spark new possibilities.

Through dialogue, critical thinking and collaboration, individual efforts become collective progress.

A study just published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Oncology definitively establishes the introduction of low-dose Tamoxifen into clinical practice as post-surgical therapy for the prevention of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the initial non-invasive form that accounts for around 25% of all breast cancers diagnosed through mammographic screening.

The Doctors’ Lounges are spaces where medicine continues beyond medical consultations and treatment rooms at the Champalimaud Foundation.

Here, doctors gather to review cases, exchange perspectives, update medical records, catch up on their reading and think together. 

It’s a place designed for concentration and care, where knowledge is constantly refined and expanded through everyday clinical practice.

It allows quiet moments to question and combine experience with research and study.

Redefining brain and mental health care through neurotechnologies – from Alzheimer’s to stroke, from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to depression –, is the declared goal of the new Digital Neurotherapeutics Centre (DNTx), which opened its doors to the public at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) on May 18th.

The Open Labs are where scientific research comes to life at the Champalimaud Foundation.

Filled every day with scientists discussing ideas, testing setups, analysing data and challenging assumptions, these spaces thrive on curiosity, collaboration and discovery.

Here, questions are encouraged. Experiments are tested, sometimes fail, and are then rethought, refined and repeated, transforming uncertainty into knowledge.
