Join us in discovering how, together, we are shaping a brighter future.

During periods of low energy—such as intermittent fasting or exercise—immune cells step in to regulate blood sugar levels, acting as the “postman” in a previously unknown three-way conversation between the nervous, immune and hormonal systems. These findings open up new approaches for managing conditions like diabetes, obesity, and cancer.

Osteosarcoma is a type of aggressive bone cancer that most commonly affects children and young adults between the ages of 10 and 20, during times of rapid bone growth. Although rare, it has a significant impact on young people and their families as treatment can require surgery or amputation. The cancer also has the potential to spread to other organs, most commonly the lungs. Because osteosarcoma is so genomically complex, it has been challenging to identify what genetic mutations drive the disease.

The 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 Research technician to join our team at the Champalimaud Research Program. 

The selected candidate will participate in running in vivo and in vitro experiments aimed at studying the mechanisms involved in cancer formation. This position will include a broad and evolving range of tasks, including:

Water is the matrix of our planet. Not only human societies, but all forms of life, are dependent on water. And while we still take its availability largely for granted, it is a resource which is becoming scarcer by the minute owing to climate change,  intensive agriculture, and access inequalities to water for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene.
