The molecular subtype of breast cancer is one of the main markers that determines the aggressiveness of the tumor and the therapy to follow. Currently, this characterization is done in a very invasive and painful way through biopsies, a highly specialized, expensive process, prone to errors due to the heterogeneity Read more…

PhD student Maria Gonçalves and members of IBEB Daniela Godinho and Raquel Conceição attended the 4th URSI Atlantic Radio Science Meeting in Gran Canaria, Spain. Daniela Godinho presented two papers: “Impact of Antenna Configuration and Artefact Removal Algorithms for Axillary Microwave Imaging” (https://doi.org/10.46620/URSIATRASC24/DYHB1389) and “Repository of materials mimicking dielectric properties Read more…
DC4MND is an European Consortium dedicated to find spinal stimulation solutions to delay motor dysfunction in ALS, using in vitro/in vivo/in sillico combined approaches. IBEB is a member of this consortium, contributing with computer realistic models of the in vivo and in vitro settings (in sillico approach) to fine tune Read more…
A new paper “Repository of MRI-derived models of the breast with single and multiple benign and malignant tumors for microwave imaging research” was published, as a result of a collaboration IBEB researchers, CFTC and University of Texas at Austin researchers, with Hospital da Luz Lisboa. Check their research on the Read more…
On May 8th, the undergraduate students in Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, Bernardo Oliveira, Carolina Araujo, and Joana Galrão, participated in “Ciências Open Day 2024”. Under the supervision of our PhD student, João Mendes, they conducted activities measuring muscle electrical activity for high school students, while also sharing the research being Read more…
In the scope of the research developed at IBEB, in collaboration with other institutions, regarding prostate cancer photothermal therapy, this paper reports the formulation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capable of remaining retained in the tumour and subsequently generating heat after laser irradiation. AuNPs were synthesized and characterized in terms of Read more…
