Earlier this month, the members of the HIT-CF Europe consortium gathered in Lisbon for a general update of the whole project. The major outcomes of this meeting include the development of standard protocols to be used by all the involved laboratories and the definition of the project to be submitted to European Medicines Agency [...]
The book “Protein Folding: an introduction”, by Cláudio Gomes and Patrícia Faísca, BioISI researchers and Professors at the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department and Physics Department, was now published. This book provides an overview on the current understanding of protein structure, dynamics, and folding and highlights the questions that remain to be answered in the [...]
FCiências.ID Amphitheatre - March 19, 17h Tânia Marques BioSYS PhD Program An integrative approach to tissue-specific effects of miRNA regulatory networks microRNAs or miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs with a major role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. miRNAs become part of the RISC complex which binds to miRNA [...]
Why fungi deserve more attention March 7, FCiências.ID Amphitheater, 11h30 Abstract Mention fungi to most people and perhaps they think of plant diseases, mouldy bread, annoying black patches on the bathroom ceiling, or oranges and lemons that go blue and soggy soon after we get them home from the supermarket. Maybe they think more positively [...]
We would like to congratulate Mafalda's Bourbon team, for the Honorable Mention in Bial CLinical Medicine Awards. The study “Translational Medicine in Familial Hypercholesterolaemia: from phenotype to genotype”, coordinated by INSARJ and BioISI researcher Mafalda Bourbon was distinguished with a honorable mention by the Juri of the Bial Clinical Medicine Awards 2018. The work [...]
In the last decade it has become increasingly accepted that progress in the field of protein folding requires a close dialogue between simulation and experiment. The prospect of accurately assessing ever-larger timescales, as a result from progress on biomolecular modelling and simulation methodologies, opens up the possibility of using simulation to predict and interpret [...]
We would like to congratulate Maria José Calhorda for the Ferreira da Silva 2019 Prize. This is the 16th edition of the prize, and is awarded during the XXVI National Meeting of the Portuguese Chemistry Society, to a Portuguese chemist who, for the scientific work produced in Portugal, has significantly contributed to the advancement [...]
From genome to cystic fibrosis: Single cell systems biology and drug targeting January 31st, FCiências.ID Amphitheater, 11h30 Abstract Where Molecular Biology helped with biomolecules, Systems Biology enables us to deal with networks. Both disciplines were catapulted by the development of new techniques, such as cloning and whole genome sequencing. Together they have led to the [...]
Dear scientific community, The proponents of the Manifesto Ciência 2018, invite you to participate in the 2nd of a series of conferences to discuss the Portuguese scientific system. The topic is Human Resources and Scientific Careers and it will take place on 4 February, at the Auditorium of Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de [...]
