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.

Driven by a fascination for science, behaviour and biology –  and shaped by his social environment – Marcelo Mendonça’s path to medicine stems from curiosity and was galvanized by a single, transformative clinical moment.
