Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are excited to invite you to the Autumn School for Single Cell-ers, hosted by the labs of Luis Graca and Marc Veldhoen at the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM) in Oeiras (Lisbon), from October 20–24, 2025.
This intensive five-day workshop is designed for researchers eager to gain a deep, hands-on understanding of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis—from the raw data to meaningful biological insight. Whether you're just beginning or looking to sharpen your skills, the Autumn School offers a unique opportunity to learn by doing, alongside an international panel of expert instructors.
Participants will work in small project-based teams, each assigned a real-life research question that will guide their learning journey throughout the week. These projects connect the dots between theoretical sessions and hands-on analysis, progressing step by step through a full single-cell data analysis workflow. The week will culminate in team presentations, where participants showcase their findings, analytical strategies, and new insights.
Beyond the science, the Autumn School is also about community. With informal gatherings and shared meals woven into the schedule, we aim to foster lasting connections among participants and trainers.
We look forward to welcoming you to Oeiras for a collaborative, challenging, and fun week of single-cell science!
Warm regards,
The Organizing Team
