Science is Alive was the motto for another Research Day, celebrated on 15 December at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon (FMUL), with the joint organization of the Office for the Support of Scientific and Technological Research and Innovation (GAPIC) and the Student Association of the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon (AEFML).

This year, the event was broadcast via streaming and returned to face-to-face format, promoting the usual interaction and enthusiastic contact between students, researchers and professors.

Research Day allowed undergraduate students to present the research projects conducted within the scope of the 24th edition of the “Education through Science” Programme | CHULN/FMUL Scholarships. Of the 46 works presented, the 3 best received the AEFML - Research Day Awards.

The GAPIC David-Ferreira Awards were also conferred to the best Final Works/Theses of the Integrated Master Degree in Medicine (2020/2021). The results of the project “Retinal vascular reactivity in type 1 diabetes patients without retinopathy using optical coherence tomography angiography” carried out by Dr David Cordeiro Sousa, under the 14th AstraZeneca Foundation Research Fellowship, were announced.

On this day full of good research, the Talk session “Experimental Medicine”, by Professor Maria M. Mota, Executive Director and Group Leader of the iMM-JLA, must also be highlighted. The same applies to the session hosted by the AEFML, in which there was a talk to students about the “GAPIC Experience” and the Research Competition of the AIMS Meeting 2021.
