Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 👩‍🔬

Nuno will, proudly and enthusiastically, repeat as one of the lecturers of the pioneering ISCTE EE Postgraduate Course in Critical Thinking for Decision Making (execed.iscte-iul.pt/en/applied-o...), brilliantly coordinated by José Maria Pimentel.

On World Cancer Day, Francisca's PhD project was awarded an Oncology Research Grant by the Portuguese League Against Cancer (Southern Regional Center) and the Benfica Foundation, to support her work on testing predictive biomarkers of therapeutic response in rectal cancer. 🙏🦀⚕️💪

We are proud of the Lab's participation in the CAML & GIMM PhD Meeting this week: @a-kaizeler.bsky.social, @ritamtbs.bsky.social and Francisca eloquently presented their work to their colleagues 👏. @ritamtbs.bsky.social won the award for Best Poster Presentation by a 4th year PhD student! 🥇

Following the @bioconductor.bsky.social package, the @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint: "Exploring molecular signatures of senescence with markeR, an R toolkit for evaluating gene sets as phenotypic markers". 💻🧬📰
