For instance, we learn that cabinets contain drawers and that Dalmatian dogs have black-and-white patches, and not vice versa. This interconnected framework shapes our expectations and perception of the world, allowing us to identify what we see based on context and experience.

Using zebrafish “Avatars”, an animal model developed by the Cancer Development and Innate Immune Evasion lab at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), led by Rita Fior, Mayra Martínez-López – a former PhD student at the lab now working at the Universidad de las Américas in Quito, Ecuador – and colleagues studied the initial steps of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine’s action on bladder cancer cells.

Co-organised by Fundación CIEN, Fundación Reina Sofía, and the Champalimaud Foundation, this scientific congress aims to bring advances in research in the fight against Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases to the public, and above all, to raise awareness to advance the search for global solutions and responses due to their social consequences.
