✨ We’re happy to share the highlights from the #HealthResearch Ceremony 2025!

We celebrate researchers pushing science forward, incl. our team leader @crismarquez.bsky.social, who, together with Alexandre Charlet will study how the brain processes emotions & drives prosocial decisions.

19/ 🔚We have reached the end of the event!

Thank you for joining us and for your commitment to the future of health. Congratulations to all the selected projects!🎉👏

Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing more highlights and details from the ceremony soon!👀

#Neuroscience #ResearchTraining #idpIN

🎓Registration now open for the idpIN Advanced Course “Sensors, Electronics and Hardware”!

🧠 From #Arduino and #HARP to #BonsaiSoftware, learn to integrate and synchronize devices for behavioral and neural experiments with sub-millisecond precision.

Over 4 days, participants from institutions across the globe explored #DeepLabCut and #KeypointMoSeq, learning to turn video data into real behavioral insights, from annotation and training to advanced motif discovery.

🔬 From Keypoints to Behavior – A Successful Workshop!🧠🐭

Last week, DYNA Brain and Nencki OpenLab hosted “From Keypoints to Behavior: Pose Estimation and Behavior Analysis”, part of the #idpIN doctoral program, at CNC-UC in Cantanhede.

#DYNAbrain #NenckiOpenLab #ResearchTraining

Proud to support the hybrid “Biotech Transfer Step-by-Step” course (30 Sept–3 Oct), organized by Catarina Cunha at #CNC-UC, promoting skills in biotechnology innovation and tech transfer.

Exciting news!
idpIN (International Doctoral Program in Integrative Neurosciences) has officially started!
We’re proud to welcome the first cohort of students beginning their journey in neuroscience with CNC and IIIUC.
Here’s to the next generation of brain researchers! 🧠

#Neuroscience #PhD #idpIN

Research at the University of Coimbra aims to understand how the brain computes the positive emotions of others

👏 Our teammate @flaviaricciardi.bsky.social is leading the ARROW project at #CNC-UC, uncovering how the brain processes others’ positive emotions & what this means for social decisions 🧠✨

Ilaria Sarnicola has been awarded the competitive Doctoral INPhINIT fellowship by the “la caixa” foundation. Congratulations 🎉

Day 3 of #escCoimbra25: we started with a guided tour and treasure hunt through the most iconic landmarks of Coimbra, then wrapped it up with a magical lunch at Quinta das Lágrimas. What a day!

Day 2 at #escCoimbra25 : great talks, sunny lunch in the garden, and we wrapped up with the second poster session. More learning and connections ahead!

The first poster session was a success! Great discussions, new connections and exciting feedback amongst the #escCoimbra25 community!

It’s happening!

Back from Madeira after an incredible week of sci-comm! We kicked off with hands-on activities at Fundação N.S. da Conceição with Fala-me Neuro, then 3 inspiring days at #SciComPT2025 where Tiffany presented Neurocurios@, our co-created book project.
Grateful and inspired!
