Being on the cutting-edge of

science

The Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown integrates research and clinical operations, under Champalimaud Research and the Champalimaud Clinical Centre (respectively), with the objective of developing cutting edge research side by side with excellent patient care.

The goal of Champalimaud Research (CR) is to perform world-leading fundamental and translational research. Current research work is focused on the fields of neuroscience, physiology and cancer.

As of 2019, CR hosts three programmes that explore the core research areas of the Foundation:

  • Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme;

  • Champalimaud Physiology and Cancer Programme;

  • Champalimaud Experimental Clinical Research Programme.

 

A Research Direction Committee was appointed to coordinate this endeavour. It is comprised of three scientific directors representing the three programmes: Joe Paton, Henrique Veiga-Fernandes and Celso Matos. Together, the committee will carry out the scientific aim of the Champalimaud Foundation: to explore new avenues of investigation, while reinforcing the links between research and clinical activities.

C-TRACER India

The Champalimaud Foundation’s C-TRACER programme – Champalimaud Translational Centre for Eye Research - was launched in India in 2008 with the goal of supporting cutting-edge vision research. The C-TRACER is designed to reflect the Foundation’s belief in translational science which brings breakthroughs from the laboratory to the clinic, thus making a significant contribution to the prevention and eradication of vision related disease and illness around the World.
