i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde

AWARDS & DISTINCTIONS🏆 Mariana Magalhães is a PhD student at #FEUP and she's developing her research project at #i3S. Thanks to the Racquel Legeros Award, recently granted to her by the European Society of Biomaterials, though, she'll be able to spend some time in the Netherlands learning new techniques. Congratulations👏 📰👀👇 #i3Sawards #i3Sgraduate #peopleofi3S #doctoralcommunity

PROJECT & INNOVATION💡 Last year, Joana Peixoto's work on pediatric #cancer earned her the Rui Osório de Castro Award, which has been an essential support in the pursuit of her research goals. In this interview, the #i3S researcher talks about EX-BRAIN_CELLZOOM, the winning project, and how she's been overcoming challenges. 📰👀👇 #i3Sinnovation #i3Snews #peopleofi3S #cancerresearch

IN THE NEWS Changing the face of your field of research is an achievement that most scientists can only dream of. #i3S researcher Salomé Pinho and her team have attained this elusive goal as they have uncovered a blood alteration that enables to predict whether a patient will develop Crohn's disease. This discovery could shift the way inflammatory bowel diseases are diagnosed and treated altogether. Outstanding work! This study was coordinated by i3S and developed in the scope of the GlycanTrigger EU Project. #i3Snews #i3Sresearch #i3Sinnovation #IBD #collab

AWARDS & DISTINCTIONS🏆 Diana Pádua was a doctoral student at ICBAS- Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar but spent most of her time at #i3S, in the Differentiation & Cancer lab studying the molecular mechanisms governing stem cells in stomach #cancer. It was definitely time well spent because the resulting dissertation was now distinguished with a "Best PhD Thesis" award by the journal 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴. Congrats!  📰👀👇 #i3Sawards #i3Snews #peopleofi3S #doctoralcommunity #i3Sgraduate #cancerresearch

i3S & SOCIETY #i3S, in cooperation with Instituto Português de Oncologia do Porto (IPO-Porto) and the association EVITA - Cancro Hereditário, is surveying women who carry a confirmed germline mutation in specific genes but have never developed ovarian #cancer. The goal is to echo these women's experiences and use them to improve targeted health care and research in the field. 🎯👩Women 18+ w/ mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1 genes, never had ovarian cancer Give your testimonial🔗 https://lnkd.in/dBKivnjU  ⏰ until 15 September Doubts?

AWARDS & DISTINCTIONS🏆 #i3S researcher Daniel Ferreira has been working on Hereditary Diffuse Gastric #Cancer (HDGC) for a few years now. HDGC is highly aggressive, so most patients preemptively remove target organs before symptom manifestation, which means that researchers are left with no object of study. Daniel Ferreira wants to change that by developing a model that mimics HDGC, and the National Cancer Hub competition awarded him 36 thousand euros to pursue that goal.
