  Scienceline » Bringing Bioimaging Back

  Steve Isaacman is building things in the lab—floppy, tennis-ball-looking things. They are considered by some to be the future of bioimaging, a field where tiny compounds are sent into the bloodstream, ... allowing physicians to “see” a specific malady. One of the ways researchers can see into the body is with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, a visualization tool used to home in on a blood clot, identify a broken bone, or spot cancer—the disease Isaacman is most interested in. But as it stands, current methods for visualizing ailments within the body have much to be desired, says James Canary, head of the chemistry lab where Isaacman is stirring three flasks full of what looks like pomegranate juice. Canary says “targeted contrast agents” that will distinguish between different maladies within the body – such as different types of cancer – and do so at a finer level are needed to improve this area of medicine. Contrast agents help distinguish a healthy area of the body from a broken one.   [More...] [Less...]

  University of Leeds - Impact 

  http://www.leeds.ac.uk/impact/

  Welcome to the second edition of Impact which celebrates some of the University's world-leading researchers and the impact of their work regionally, nationally and globally. This issue addresses two themes ... which are particularly pertinent to modern society security and terrorism, and citizenship and identity. The University's research expertise in these areas informs and shapes opinions and policies. Nanotechnology, the third theme in this edition, is set to transform the future. Researchers at Leeds are at the cutting-edge of this new science. The depth and breadth of our expertise in this field is exceptional and our interdisciplinary approach is a great strength. The knowledge gained through our research is used to great effect by our spin-out companies. The Innovation section showcases some of the commercial activity around the subject areas featured in this publication. Our researchers are constantly extending the boundaries of knowledge and in the final section we indicate some o   [More...] [Less...]

  Sloning BioTechnology GmbH The synthesis of genetic constructs via the Slonomics™ technology utilizes various liquid handling, mixing, incubation and microplate handling procedures, performed via a multistep, ... convergent synthesis protocol. For the automated parallel production of such custom gene constructs, we developed a modular system architecture consisting of independently operating robotic stations. Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and DNA2.0 Synthetic biology allows for the direct chemical synthesis of any gene, operon and chromosome. Not only does synthetic biology facilitate copying and editing existing genetic information, it also instantly permits the creation of any imaginable completely novel genetic information without being constrained by nature. 06 March 2008 - 09 March 2008 IBE meetings are unique because of the broad participation by scientists and engineers, working in the frontiers of Biology-Inspired Engineering. This meeting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina will bu   [More...] [Less...]
