This course will focus on the latest state-of-the-art sequencing platform technology and novel library preparation protocols. We will start with experimental design, focusing on the hands-on library preparation (including best practices, standards, and potential pitfalls), concluding with sequencing of libraries, bioinformatic evaluation & best practice. For this purpose we will use, for the first time ever in the settings of the practical course, the cutting-edge sequencing platform AVITI which was developed by Element Biosciences and is currently entering the next-gen sequencing (NGS) field. An evaluation of the technology in conjunction with the newly developed library preparation reagents by New England Biolabs (NEB) will be important for the scientific community and course participants to assist their decision if to adopt the new sequencing technology. The course will cover a complete workflow, such as library preparation and sequencing. The course participants will also learn about its tips and tricks and will also use bioinformatics tools required for data processing, quality control and initial data analysis. Beside the practical exercises, lectures and discussion sessions, the course will offer the opportunity to learn more about transferring the knowledge gained during the course to the home institute of the participants as well as the implementation of this new technology into the environment of genomics core facilities.

The Spatial Biology UK 2024 Conference brings together leaders and scientists, sharing case studies, data and industry outlook. The International Spatial Biology Congress returns to The Netherlands, and brings together over 20 presentations and interactive discussions to dive deeper into the latest spatial technologies and research. It will explore how using spatial multi-omics advances the discovery of novel molecular insights in oncology, immunology, neurology, and infectious disease, as well as the future opportunities of this rapidly developing field. Presentations featuring ground-breaking research will show how spatial information is generated for the most complex systems, and how these can translate into future research and clinical intervention opportunities. There will be opportunities to discover the latest computational techniques, understand the importance of high-quality spatial data, and explore Spatial Multi-omics applications for the tumor microenvironment. Once again space is made in the program for emerging young researchers to showcase their work.

The Essential Molecular Biology course covers the fundamental principles and techniques used in experimental research in the area of Molecular Biology. Essentially practical in nature, it aims at the learning of current genomics and proteomics techniques, as well as the acquisition of skills in laboratory experimentation required for scientific research in biomedicine. The idea of a laboratory with the sole purpose of providing support to research in molecular medicine originated about ten years ago at the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biology of FMUP. It was first conceived when the new facilities of the Faculty of Medicine – recently inaugurated as the Center of Medical Research (CIM-FMUP) with dedicated laboratory space for LAIMM - were being planned. The delay in bringing the project to completion, along with a high demand for assistance in the planning and execution of molecular biology work by clinical staff of the Faculty, have led to the establishment of an embryonic structure, which was able to respond to some of the requests with help of the research staff and equipment of the Cellular and Molecular Biology lab. The accomplishment of the original idea, however, was only made possible by the recent award of funds to a project aimed at enabling the post-graduate activity of FMUP to include the training of doctors and other health professionals who wish to maintain their clinical activity whilst involved in the execution of scientific work. LAIMM relies on a small group of molecular biologists fully committed to this mission, dedicated laboratory facilities equipped with high end instrumentation, as well as a series of methodologies in place at the Department of Experimental Biology and the knowhow of all its team of researchers and lecturers. LAIMM's main goal is to promote and support scientific research in biomedicine, particularly by health professionals who wish to maintain their clinical activity, by providing logistical and operational assistance, scientific consulting and training in laboratory research in molecular biology. To achieve this purpose, LAIMM offers a set of services ranging from support to the design and implementation of scientific projects to the provision of custom services in molecular biology and animal models.

Objectives:

•  To facilitate high quality original scientific research in biomedicine with direct participation of health agents, namely physicians and other clinical professionals
• To promote and develop basic and applied scientific research in a laboratory setting.
• To support ongoing research projects by providing logistical and operational assistance, scientific advisory and training.
• To provide custom laboratory services in molecular biology and production of animal models.
