Under the central theme of efficiency as a condition for a more sustainable, equitable and future-ready healthcare system, the event established itself as a forum for discussing concrete solutions, with proposals for more efficient use of public investment, improved incentives for professionals and patient-centred policies.

Offer Description

Champalimaud Foundation (Fundação D. Anna de Sommer Champalimaud e Dr. Carlos Montez Champalimaud), a private, non-profit research institution in Lisbon, Portugal, is looking for a Operations Unit Officer fellow to join our team. 

Champalimaud Research (CR) has an open position for an Operations Unit Officer, to work in a professional, dynamic and diverse work environment at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown.

Caring for patients is one of the Champalimaud Foundation’s core purposes, and the Radiotherapy Service supports that mission every day. 

In a highly controlled environment, precise doses of radiation are targeted to treat different types of cancer. 

Behind this precision is a dedicated team of specialised doctors, physicists, nurses and technicians, working together to ensure each treatment is both safe and effective.

Every detail matters. Every decision is guided by expertise, responsibility and care.

Based at the Champalimaud Foundation’s Neuropsychiatry Unit and the newly established Digital Neurotherapeutics Centre, Cotovio is recognised for research that advances a more mechanistic understanding of psychiatric disorders. As part of this distinction, he is featured in the Innovators & Ideas series in Brain Medicine, which highlights emerging leaders in translational neuroscience.
 

Towards causal models in psychiatry

Venue

Seminar Room

Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon, have for the first time managed to identify, with an imaging technique, whether nervous impulses in the brain of rats are flowing in a “bottom-up” (feedforward), carrying information about visual input, or a “top-down” (feedback) direction, carrying information about expectations or predictions on a given task or about the perception of the world around us.

A synergy in advanced therapies

Signed in Rome on 28 April, the agreement combines the Champalimaud Foundation’s expertise in adult oncology with Bambino Gesù’s recognised leadership in paediatric oncology and cell therapies. This synergy strengthens the link between research and clinical practice throughout the translational medicine pathway.

The Teaching Lab is much more than a classroom. It’s where students, from their first experiments to their PhDs, develop the confidence to ask questions and test ideas.

Used daily by researchers and students alike, this space is a hub for building and refining scientific setups, and a venue for workshops and courses that welcome new minds every year.

It has reshaped how science is done at the Champalimaud Foundation. By empowering students, it strengthens entire research teams.
