Room 1.3.33 A- May 21, 17h Miguel Vitorino DAEPHYS PhD student, Bio-PhysNano Going nano: exploring biological physics through atomic force microscopy Atomic force microscopes (AFMs) had a critical role in the exploration of the nanoscale over the last decades. In particular, they are fundamental to the latest interdisciplinary effort [...]
FCiências.ID Auditorium- May 2 , 11h30 Paulo J Costa CQB | BioISI | FCUL Halogen bonds: how do we model them? Halogenated compounds have a prominent role in drug discovery, often aiming at improving drug-like properties such as membrane permeability or pharmacokinetic stability. Additionally, they often bind to their [...]

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 [...]
