Two #i3S projects are among the eleven funded this year by the BIP PROOF programme, from U.Porto Inovação. 💡
Carla Cunha is developing a minimally invasive therapy for disc herniation, and Bruno Sarmento is creating a 3D model to study #IBD and design personalised treatments.

FLAVIVACCINE EU project @flavivaccine.bsky.social · 6d

Our partner @i3suporto.bsky.social represented #FLAVIVACCINE during the European Researchers' Night took place last week in Porto, Portugal. Attendees had the chance to participate in games about vector-borne infectious diseases while engaging with researchers.

5/🔬Helder Maiato (@i3suporto.bsky.social porto.bsky.social‬) explores genetics in breast cancer.

Patients often receive taxanes, but side effects and resistance are yet common.

His goal: to decode the “tubulin code”—molecular modifications in cell cytoskeleton that may predict therapy response.💊

4/🦠Genetic signatures also shape infection

Tuberculosis is preventable and treatable, yet it kills 1.25M people/year. Why?

Margarida Saraiva (@i3suporto.bsky.social) showed how genetics influence immune responses, and how decoding these signatures could reveal new strategies against the disease.

3/ Decoding diabetes beyond the genome.🧬

Type 2 diabetes is often influenced by genetic variants hidden in DNA’s “non-coding” regions.

José Bessa (@i3suporto.bsky.social sky.social) is mapping these alterations in pancreatic cells to enable earlier diagnosis and better treatments.

1/🧬How can the molecular “codes” in our genome help predict or prevent disease?

At the #HealthResearchMeeting, researchers explored how genetic signatures are transforming diagnosis, early detection, and personalized therapies.
