About

Over the past two decades, psychedelic research has generated evidence of the therapeutic potential across a range of psychiatric and neurological conditions, bringing new possibilities for treatment and care. As the field continues to advance rapidly, clinical research still needs to overcome current challenges in real-world implementation of psychedelic therapy. 

Offer Description

Seeking a dedicated Cell Culture Research Technician to join our dynamic team to advance medical knowledge and make a positive impact on healthcare.

Main duties will include: 

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be an extremely incapacitating neuropsychiatric condition. The symptoms of people who suffer from OCD can entail washing their hands or showering over and over again, repeatedly checking whether they switched off the gas in the kitchen or locked their street door. In the most extreme cases, this takes up so much of their time and energy that they become unable to leave their house, to work, to develop meaningful relationships and to interact with other people.

The Champalimaud Foundation is excited to announce the upcoming course, Pathology Updates 2026, which will be held on September 21st-23rd in the Seminar Room. This course is organised in partnership with Mayo Clinic Scottsdale and Rochester. The 2026 edition marks its 6th iteration and the 3rd to be hosted at the Champalimaud Foundation.

Published in The Breast, the technical pilot study describes the development and feasibility of an augmented reality-guided system for non-invasive tumour localisation. The work is the result of several years of research led by Tiago Marques, Pedro Gouveia and João Santinha, Group Leaders of the Digital Surgery Lab (DSL) together with several team members such as the PhD student Rafaela Timóteo who helped on the project development as well as data acquisition and analysis.
