You will learn how to apply these methodologies to various biomedical data types, including clinical, genotype-phenotype, molecular, and multimodal data.

Causal inference and causal representation learning are emerging fields in AI and biomedical data science, enabling a shift from associational to cause-and-effect reasoning. These approaches have significant applications in biomedicine, such as evaluating treatment effectiveness, understanding causal mechanisms, identifying genetic risk factors, and uncovering causal relationships in complex molecular datasets. For instance, they can help answer questions like how effective a treatment is in preventing disease, whether its effects are direct or mediated by intermediate variables, and which genetic variants causally increase disease risk and can be targeted by drugs.

]]> 10th European Workshop on Lipid Mediators /event/10th-european-workshop-on-lipid-mediators/ Sat, 04 Apr 2026 13:05:40 +0000 /?post_type=events&p=15435 Continued]]> This biennial workshop is primarily addressed to scientists interested in the field of bioactive lipid mediators.

Many International speakers invited or selected from the submitted abstracts will present their works.

Scientists from across and outside Europe will share their expertise on the biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology of lipids as signaling molecules, as well as their involvement in inflammation, resolution of inflammation and their specific roles in several disease conditions. This includes lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 metabolites (SPM) as well as sphingolipids, ceramide, sterols, lyso-phospholipids, and other bioactive lipids.

]]> GIMM Festival 2026 – Questions of the Future – Microbes /event/gimm-festival-2026-questions-of-the-future-microbes/ Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:10:21 +0000 /?post_type=events&p=15349 Continued]]> The GIMM Festival is an annual event in Lisbon that embodies the spirit of exploration and innovation at the heart of the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM). It is conceived as a space for collective reflection on scientific areas with deep societal implications, bridging science and society through dialogue, discovery, and engagement.

GIMM Fest 2026 will take place under the overarching theme “Questions of the Future”, with a special focus on Microbes. This edition will explore how microbes shape health, ecosystems, technology, and society, addressing both fundamental biological mechanisms and their broader global impact.

The 2026 programme will examine transformative questions surrounding:

  • Host–microbe interactions and immune regulation
  • Microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance
  • The role of microbes in human health and disease
  • Microbial engineering and biotechnology
