An exciting week for QuantOCancer continues!
QuantOCancer team joined forces with other Champalimaud Foundation researchers for another edition of Science on the Walls #sciencecommunication project, using #streetart to spark curiosity towards science. Today’s activities were aimed at 4th graders at local #school EB 2,3 Pedro d’Orey da Cunha in the #Lisboa suburb of Amadora.
An exciting week for QuantOCancer project!
Our first ESR to conduct a secondment post-pandemic - Raquel Lopes - returned to CCU from St.Louis with stories to tell and knowledge to share! Find out more about her experience on our community testimonies page here!
Huge thanks to our 18-strong team of scientists from the Champalimaud Foundation for their amazing efforts towards making research and careers in science accessible to 9th graders in Greater Lisbon - a great success all round!

Photos: Phase 2 of QuantOCancer’s #scienceeducation project taking place this week at Pedro D’Orey da Cunha high school in Amadora. 9th graders get hands-on to build their own mini folding microscopes, trace neurons, grasp immune cell phagocytosis, build programs to measure electricity in their own body and follow embryo development, with the help of PhD students and Postdocs.
