Champalimaud Foundation

Participants will have the opportunity to talk to a researcher from the Memming Park

The Champalimaud Foundation carries out cutting-edge research in the areas of neuroscience and cancer, under Champalimaud Research (CR), while also providing clinical services of excellence, within the Champalimaud Clinical Centre. Located in the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown, CR unites scientists and students organized into Groups, leading independent curiosity-based research programmes while fostering interactions between clinical, applied and basic research. The Group focusing on Neural Dynamics is the Memming Park Lab and the researchers focus on applying statistical and Machine Learning algorithms to study the underlying neural dynamics and how they implement various computations such as decision-making, sensory coding, attention, interval timing, working memory, and motor planning.

3D Printing: Applications in Rehabilitation with PhD Candidate, Catarina Santos

3D Printing Technology has various applications in the health sector, bringing a significant impact on rehabilitation and promoting quality of life. It is in this perspective that the 3D Printing Center for Health was created by the research centers LIBPhys and UNIDEMI, in conjunction with Fablab FCT. The main objective of this center is to promote, coordinate, and apply technological development activities with social impact in the areas of health and functional independence through 3D printing, integrating knowledge ranging from health fields to engineering.

During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the 3D Printing Center for Health and the methodology used in the development of E-nable prostheses using 3D printing. Additionally, students will be able to develop E-nable prostheses according to the cases presented, expanding their ability to apply their knowledge in a practical and innovative context.

The workshop has a limited number of participants.
