Fundação D. Anna de Sommer Champalimaud e Dr. Carlos Montez Champalimaud (Champalimaud Foundation), a private, non-profit research institution, is opening a call for a Research Technician.

This one-day event will bring together clinicians, researchers, patient representatives, policymakers and ethicists to explore the landscape of psychedelic-assisted care through the lens of the four pillars of medical ethics: beneficence, autonomy, non-maleficence, and justice.

The symposium will delve into safety, regulation, therapeutic practices, and future directions to ensure equitable access to psychedelic-assisted care.

Sleep disturbances in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy – designed to shrink the tumours prior to surgery – are one of the common side effects of these treatments, which can not only exacerbate other side effects, but also impact prognosis. One of the possible, non-pharmacological strategies to mitigate these disturbances is thought to be physical exercise.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. One of the reasons for this is that it is difficult to detect and diagnose at an early stage because the currently available methods are impracticable at the population level. 

The Champalimaud Foundation is pleased to announce the 5th edition of the international course Pathology Updates 2025, and the 2nd to be hosted by the Foundation, taking place from 15 to 17 September 2025 in the Seminar Room at the Champalimaud Foundation, Lisbon.

Organised in partnership with Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, this course builds on the success of the 2024 edition and continues its mission of offering high-impact, practice-oriented updates in surgical pathology and cytopathology.

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. 

The symposium, themed Neuro-Cybernetics at Scale, draws inspiration from the recent advances in AI and machine learning, where scaling has unlocked unprecedented performance. We believe neuroscience may be approaching a similar inflection point. By convening researchers in experimental neuroscience, robotics, machine learning, control theory, and theoretical neuroscience, we aim to explore how ideas of scaling and feedback can shape the future of systems neuroscience.

The first edition of the Botton-Champalimaud International Pancreatic Conference, hosted at the prestigious Botton-Champalimaud Pancreatic Cancer Centre, was a landmark event in 2024, bringing together leading experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in pancreatic cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care.
