C2TN Academy promotes seminar on Geoarchaeology and the evolution of the Tejo estuary

Reading sediments to tell the story of Lisbon: geoarchaeology reveals landscapes hidden beneath the city. What is now concrete, walls and railway lines was once beach, marshland and the lively banks of the Tejo estuary. Beneath contemporary Lisbon lie layers of sand, shells and silt that hold stories dating back thousands of years. It was […]

C2TN Academy promotes seminar on molecular imaging and early diagnosis

Molecular imaging opens up new perspectives for the early diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The use of “smart” contrast agents, capable of detecting changes at the molecular level before clinical or anatomical signs appear, could redefine or decisively alter the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases and metastatic cancer. This was the main message
