1st São Paulo School of Translational Science

A ESPCA-Translational Medicine foi a primeira ESPCA realizada dentro desta chamada da FAPESP. Esta ESPCA foi organizada no Hospital AC Camargo, em São Paulo em Abril de 2010, sob a coordenação do Dr. Emmanuel Dias-Neto.

Denominamos este evento como 1st São Paulo School of Translational Science (1SPSTS) – apelidado internamente de AC Camargo Global Meeting.

Os números gerais dão uma boa idéia da intensidade do evento. Foram cerca de 300 alunos inscritos, 177 selecionados como participantes ou ouvintes (sendo 47 de fora do país), 69 palestrantes (37 de fora do país).

Durante duas semanas de evento, tivemos 97 palestras e número equivalente de posters, em um total geral de 96 horas de atividades. Apesar de termos tido problemas com a vinda de alguns convidados e alunos, diante da erupcção de um vulcão na Islândia, o evento transcorreu sem problemas e com discussões proveitosas, estimuladas pelos excelentes palestrantes e pela platéia cuidadosamente selecionada.

Os temas giraram ao redor de oncologia e neurociências, duas das paixões do Dr. Ricardo Brentani que foi o co-organizador do evento. Cerca de 45 matérias sobre o evento foram publicadas em jornal, rádio, internet ou televisão divulgadas pela mídia nacional e também internacional, o que foi importante para abrir espaço para divulgação da ciência no Brasil.

Ao final, 95,5% dos participantes classificaram sua satisfação geral com o evento como “Muito Boa” ou “Excelente”. Além do papel crucial da FAPESP, o evento teve um apoio fundamental do Hospital AC Camargo e de diversas empresas que ofereceram apoio financeiro para ajudar a custear as despesas. Inúmeras colaborações científicas tiveram início neste evento, e perduram até os dias de hoje.
