The inaugural meeting of the Associated Laboratory LS4FUTURE - Life Sciences for a Healthy and Sustainable Future, brought together Principal Investigators from the various research units that comprise it, including our iNOVA4Health, MOSTMICRO-ITQB, IGC and GREEN-IT.
Our Principal Investigator and Professor António Jacinto, is the coordinator of one of the Thematic Lines, Mechanisms of Disease for Precision Medicine. "In the context of LS4F, this thematic line makes the link to hospitals and the health sector in general." says António Jacinto, also saying that "it aims to address unmet medical needs, preventing high-burden age-related and infectious diseases, promoting personalised medicine approaches, designing novel therapies, and bridging the gap between research and clinic".
LS4FUTURE, coordinated by the Vice Director of ITQB NOVA Inês Cardoso Pereira, is the largest Portuguese Associated Laboratory in Life Sciences and brings together more than 1000 researchers from five institutions, covering a wide range of topics in this area.
LS4FUTURE subscribes to the One Health concept, working towards environmental and human health to ensure a sustainable future for humankind and our planet. It relies on distinctive expertise in fundamental, clinical, and applied research and strong complementarity, coupled with strategic partnerships in Health, Industry, Education, Government and Municipalities.
