Institution / Organization
2021/03/17 - 2021/03/17 In the last years, both computer simulation and animal models have been crucial to the several fields of clinical research. This Workshop provided a venue to discuss the importance and applicability of in silico studies and animal models in the investigation and comprehension of the mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, as well as in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

2016/03/09 - 2016/03/12 Em 2010, os estudantes de Ciências Biomédicas da Universidade de Aveiro foram pioneiros desta iniciativa e, desde então, estas têm sido organizadas, alternadamente, pela Universidade de Aveiro, pela Universidade da Beira Interior e pela Universidade do Algarve. As jornadas constituem um projeto que avançou com o intuito de debater a investigação biomédica em Portugal e os temas que suscitam discussão na comunidade científica, e de lançar novos desafios à ciência e novas oportunidades para os investigadores no geral.
