Meet Ardem Patapoutian, who discovered the molecules at the root of our exquisite sense of touch – and won a Nobel for it

“I love talking about the molecular structure [I discovered]”, said Ardem Patapoutian, who leads a lab at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, as he was presenting his work to an audience gathered at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), in Lisbon, last week. “It's very easy for me to talk about it when I have PowerPoint slides, but what if I'm in a restaurant or in a bar and I want to tell someone about how it works? I decided to get a tattoo of the structure and I want to share it with you.”

4th Edition Hands-on Molecular Tools Workshop

The Hands-on Molecular Tools workshop aims to cover the fundamental principles and standard techniques used in Molecular Biology and will be taught by experts from CF, FCT-UNL and FCUL/cE3c.

This course will incorporate theoretical and practical classes, where the participants will acquire experience on RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, electrophoresis, plasmid DNA isolation, as well as, bioinformatics analysis and experimental design of a cloning project. 

Champalimaud Research Symposium 2025

The symposium, themed Neuro-Cybernetics at Scale, draws inspiration from the recent advances in AI and machine learning, where scaling has unlocked unprecedented performance. We believe neuroscience may be approaching a similar inflection point. By convening researchers in experimental neuroscience, robotics, machine learning, control theory, and theoretical neuroscience, we aim to explore how ideas of scaling and feedback can shape the future of systems neuroscience.

2nd Botton-Champalimaud International Pancreatic Cancer Conference

Recommendations for the clinical use of psychedelic substances presented at the Champalimaud Foundation

It was a happy coincidence: the final text of the Recommendations of the Multidisciplinary and Multiprofessional Working Group on the Clinical Use of Psychedelic Substances was released on the same day that the Portuguese National Health System announced its decision to fully reimburse the treatment of resistant depression with a substance called esketamine.
