The Auditorium of the Champalimaud Foundation will be the stage for artists and scientists to share with the public their ideas for the future, in a sequence of lectures/performances anchored in reality or hand in hand with fiction. A unique event where the affinities of art and science are revealed in their curiosity for the unknown.

The Champalimaud Foundation opens the applications to the 5th edition of the Fundamentals of Medicine Postgratuate Course, a unique course designed for life sciences researchers interested in exploring medical terminology, concepts, and issues, with a focus on fostering collaboration between researchers and medical doctors. 

The Hands-on Molecular Tools workshop aims to cover the fundamental principles and standard techniques used in Molecular Biology and will be taught by experts from CF, FCT-UNL and FCUL/cE3c.

This course will incorporate theoretical and practical classes, where the participants will acquire experience on RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, electrophoresis, plasmid DNA isolation, as well as, bioinformatics analysis and experimental design of a cloning project. 

It was a happy coincidence: the final text of the Recommendations of the Multidisciplinary and Multiprofessional Working Group on the Clinical Use of Psychedelic Substances was released on the same day that the Portuguese National Health System announced its decision to fully reimburse the treatment of resistant depression with a substance called esketamine.

Offer Description

A Call for one research fellowship (Bolsa de Investigação) for a Game/VR Developer is open at Fundação D. Anna de Sommer Champalimaud e Dr.

An international team, led by researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), has shown – for the first time in a realistic way – that it may be possible, in the future, to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD) years earlier, by scanning people’s brains with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Although there are treatment options after diagnosis, there is no cure.  Therapies are continually improving — with ongoing research aiming to slow or even alter the course of the disease - investing in the research of methods that enable much earlier diagnosis is crucial.

The Champalimaud Foundation is honoured to welcome Nobel Laureate Ardem Patapoutian for a public lecture. Awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine alongside David Julius for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch, Professor Patapoutian will join us at the Main Auditorium to share insights from his research. 

Attendance is free, but registration is required via the Eventbrite page. 

On the upcoming May 12th at 5:30 PM, the Auditorium of the Champalimaud Foundation will host a landmark event: the public presentation of the Multidisciplinary Recommendations on the Clinical Use of Psychedelic Substances.
