2019The Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation will be present at the Advances in Computational Biology conference organized by the International Society for Computational Biology on November 28 and 29, 2019 at La Pedrera in Barcelona. The conference will bring together researchers working on systems biology, omics technologies, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing with applications to biology from both the public and private sectors.
One of the main purposes of the conference is to promote and make the research done by women in the bioinformatics field visible. This is why all speakers will be women, although the conference is open to everyone. That’s why the Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation has awarded five scholarships for students and researchers to attend the two working days with oral communications and posters.
They are Inmaculada Álamo-Álvarez (Mechanistic approach for optimal model selection in cancer research); Fatma Cankara (Prediction of the Effects of Single Amino Acid Variations on Protein Functionality with Annotation Centric Modeling); María José Jiménez-Santos (Targeting Intratumoral Heterogeneity with in silico Drug Prescription Tools); Martiela Freitas (CRISPR/Cas9 in silico off-targets prediction for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I through comparative analysis); and M. Isabel Agea Lorente (Classification model with Conformal Prediction applied to Glucocorticoid Receptor virtual library).
The conference is organised by the Bioinfo4Women programme from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) with the collaboration of IMIM-UPF Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB), the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB/ELIXIR-ES) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). It is an affiliate conference of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).

Estrenada en 1981 y basada en la obra de teatro homónima de Brian Clark, esta película dirigida por John Badham y protagonizada por Richard Dreyfuss plantea el debate sobre la eutanasia a partir de la historia de un escultor que sufre un grave accidente de tráfico que le paraliza todo el cuerpo. A pesar de su buen humor, el protagonista concluye que su vida ya no merece ser vivida y comienza el periplo por los tribunales con el objetivo de conseguir el permiso para que los médicos le puedan ayudar a morir.
Mi vida es mía es la película escogida para la segunda sesión del Cinefórum en Medicina que organiza la Junta comarcal del Vallès Occidental del Col•legi de Metges de Barcelona con la colaboración de la Fundación Dr. Antoni Esteve, la Fundació Víctor Grífols i Lucas y el BBVA.

If standing up and speaking in front of an audience is a source of anxiety, the stress is heightened even more when the official language of the conference, meeting or congress is English. From 7th and 9th of October 2019, the Esteve Foundation organized in Montpellier with the Groupement de Recherche (GDR) 3545 on G protein-coupled receptors – from physiology to drugs and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique a new edition of the Training Seminar How to improve your scientific presentations, which offers numerous techniques and practical tips for improving scientists presentations in English.
During three days, participants immerse themselves in the international language under the guidance of Brian McCarthy and Peter Corry, both of Irish origin. McCarthy is a writer, translator and instructor of several courses. He has also translated and edited dozens of articles on pharmacology, psychology and education. Before moving to Spain in 2005, he was a professional theater director and acting coach. Corry has worked as a performance coach for over 12 years, helping professionals in the entertainment industry, education and business to develop confidence and communicate more effectively with audiences. He is also a professional actor in theatre, television and film, and is currently studying Medicine at the University of Limerick in Ireland.
Designed with a blend of theory and practice, this new course not only covers basic skills in public speaking but also looks at shaping your message, strucuturing your content and polishing your delivery in order to have a greater impact on your audience. Defining a message, having a central objective, establishing a narrative, imposing a structure and attractive design of slides are some of the keys to capturing and holding public attention.
