iMed – Instituto de Investigação do Medicamento is reinforcing its scientific infrastructure through strategic investments in state-of-the-art equipment, driving high-impact research, fostering new collaborations, and expanding service provision for long-term sustainability. Major acquisitions include a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer, an advanced cell sorting (FACS) system, and a spinning disk confocal microscope for high-resolution live-cell imaging and drug discovery applications. These advances are made possible through funding from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), I.P., under the R&D Unit UID/04138/2025 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.54499/UID/04138/2025), with additional support from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), through UID/PRR/04138/2025 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.54499/UID/PRR/04138/2025) and UID/PRR2/04138/2025 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.54499/UID/PRR2/04138/2025), financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
