Modelling Biological Data: the Second RiboMed Summer School
June 20-24, 2022
The second edition of RiboMed Summer School brings together a group of enthusiastic instructors, with a great deal of experience both in doing biostatistics, as well as in teaching it. The participants will learn the fundamental concepts of probability and modelling, and will apply them in three different contexts: differential gene expression analysis, differential splicing analysis, and the dynamical modelling of physiological systems. The summer school will be heavily hands-on and teamwork based.
Registration here.
Speakers:
- Ruy Ribeiro | Los Alamos National Laboratory, US
- Benilton Carvalho | Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil
- Mariana Ferreira | Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM), Portugal
- Nuno Morais | Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM), Portugal
- Alon Bar | Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
- Christopher Burge | Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US - Via Zoom

RiboMed Innovation Challenges
March 10, 2021
Online presentation of the programme
The programme aims to engage junior researchers in the development of opportunities for collaboration with Industry within RNA therapeutics.
The iMM Technology Transfer Office will help along the whole process, from the identification of collaboration opportunities to their presentation to Industry. The participants will have the opportunity to learn about the best practices and tips in successfully reaching out to industry, to pitch their idea to companies and external organisations, and to formalize collaborations with industry with potential financial rewards.
Innovation Challenges Programme here.

What and How to Patent? Biotechnological Inventions
Participants in this workshop had a first deep dive in the world of patents in the biotech world and learned how their inventions can be protected and licensed.
For Maria Carmo-Fonseca, coordinator of the RiboMed “this workshop was a great opportunity to learn more about the requirements for patenting our inventions, which is one of the pillars of our Widening project. The partnership with Clarke Modet is a good example of the possible interactions with the biotech industry that can be very beneficial for us, as researchers”.
