Champalimaud Foundation Auditorium
The Auditorium of the Champalimaud Foundation will be the stage for artists and scientists to share with the public their ideas for the future, in a sequence of lectures/performances anchored in reality or hand in hand with fiction. A unique event where the affinities of art and science are revealed in their curiosity for the unknown.
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.
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.
The first edition of the Botton-Champalimaud International Pancreatic Conference, hosted at the prestigious Botton-Champalimaud Pancreatic Cancer Centre, was a landmark event in 2024, bringing together leading experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to discuss the latest advancements in pancreatic cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care.
The Champalimaud Foundation is honoured to welcome Nobel Laureate Ardem Patapoutian for a public lecture. Awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine alongside David Julius for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch, Professor Patapoutian will join us at the Main Auditorium to share insights from his research.
Attendance is free, but registration is required via the Eventbrite page.
