There is a line by British artist David Shrigley that goes: “I had no interest in it then I looked inside and now I'm enchanted by it.” In other words, it is difficult to be genuinely interested in something we know nothing about. First, we need the chance to take a look inside. To get closer. To explore. To ask questions. And sometimes, it is at that very moment, when something that once seemed distant becomes tangible, that fascination begins.
The same is true of science.

Millions of people living with Breast cancer or depression experience physical, psychological, social and financial burdens that remain unseen or insufficiently addressed in routine care. Although patient-reported outcome measures exist and provide valuable insights, they often reduce complex patient experiences to numerical scores. At the same time, healthcare professionals face fragmented clinical data, increasing documentation demands and digital tools that are not always well integrated into care.

Offer Description

We are seeking 2 highly motivated and skilled Bioinformaticians to join our dynamic research team at Botton-Champalimaud Pancreatic Cancer Centre. The successful candidates will play a critical role in developing and implementing robust bioinformatics pipelines in cloud environments, analysing complex genomic datasets, and contributing to the advancement of our research programs. This position is ideal for individuals with a strong background in bioinformatics and hands-on experience with cloud computing and complex biological data.

Today, 28 July 2026, the Champalimaud Foundation and the NOVA University Lisbon signed a five-year strategic partnership agreement focused on scientific research, advanced training and technological innovation, further strengthening collaboration between the two institutions.

The agreement establishes the foundations for joint research and development projects in the areas of health, life sciences and innovation. The aim is to share knowledge, expertise and specialised resources between the two institutions, accelerating the development of new solutions. 

To us, Tonegawa was not only a giant of world science, he was also a cherished friend of the Champalimaud  Foundation.

Present from the Champalimaud Foundation's earliest and most formative years, he helped shape its scientific DNA, contributing to the model that continues to guide us today: science that is ambitious, rigorous and committed to making a real difference to people's lives.
