Abstract

To overcome the complexities of cancer and pave a path towards a cure, the McManus Lab is developing innovative approaches that consider both the genetic drivers of the disease and its interactions within the cellular environment. Join Dr. McManus to explore new technologies and methods to combat this multifaceted complex human disease.

Given that nursing is mostly a female profession, why are management positions mostly held by men?
 
The question was asked by Carla Martins, director of nursing at the Local Health Unit of Santa Maria Hospital, in Lisbon, during a recent debate at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) on gender equality and, more specifically, on female leadership in healthcare.

This innovative programme is designed to develop future leaders in surgical oncology by combining cutting-edge scientific research with advanced surgical training. It offers a comprehensive and flexible doctoral curriculum for surgical residents, certified surgeons, and cancer-focused gastroenterologists and oncologists.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a spectacular tool that has been in development for the last decades; its role in our lives is already pervasive and will inevitably grow; and, most importantly, we can, through regulation, avoid its abuses (such as fake news and the manipulation of human beings). Indeed, whatever the future of AI is to be, we have the power to choose – wisely – to use it for the common good.

To familiarise health professionals with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools, so that they can apply them in their daily practice for the benefit of patients: this is the aim of the MEDICA AI conference, which will be held on July 16th at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF). The event is organised by the Digital Surgery Lab, a multidisciplinary team from the Breast Unit of the CF led by surgeon Pedro Gouveia.
