Research Day is an initiative of the GAPIC and the AEFML which enjoys great success among students and young doctors, inasmuch as scientific research is an added value for personal and curricular development. The 6th edition of Research Day will be held on 13 December at the David-Ferreira Amphitheatre. The research papers carried out by FMUL students in 2017 will be presented and the GAPIC David-Ferreira Prizes will be awarded to the best final papers/master theses of the 2016/2017 year. This year the following sessions stand out: Research Paths - Choosing to be a Clinician Scientist to improve our understanding of food allergy, Alexandra Santos (MRC Clinical Research Fellow, King's College London); Research Tools - IBM Watson: Big Data, Cognitive Computing and Personalized Medicine, Cristina Semião (Healthcare Manager, IBM Portugal). The presentation will be followed by a debate on this relevant topic.
