From Using Nanotechnology to Study the Human Genome

As a trained molecular biologist, virologist and cancer biologist, my research at CNSE exploits nanotechnology to study the Human Genome and discover how the recipes of life are turned into flesh and blood. We are also working to develop new methods for studying the spread of cancer from the primary site of a tumor (metastasis) and the inner workings of the single-cell to enhance stem-cell biology research.

From Insightful Seminar of How to Do Business in Japan by Finland's Tekes FinNano Programme

It is well known that Japanese culture is very strong in affecting the way of life in Japan, including the way of doing business. With its unique culture, Japanese market may present some challenges to foreign companies, if they do not pay attention in understanding how the Japanese behaves and conducts business. An insightful seminar was organized by Tekes (Finnish Funding Agency) FinNano Programme for the Finnish companies to learn more about Japan, Japanese culture, and how to do business in Japan. Two Japanese non-profit organizations were introduced, which can help the foreign companies in setting up their presence in Japan, particularly in Tokyo and Osaka regions. Read the Whole Article

From Will 2010 be a better year for nanotechnology?

2009 was a bad year for nanotechnology. The financial demise of long established nanotechnology companies such as Nanogen, Evident Technologies, and NanoDynamics may be an expected fall-out of the economic downturn. However, the real impact of the financial crisis to nanotechnology is more pronounced. Read the Whole Article

From Singapore Promotes Sustainable Society Technology Innovation

The Singapore Nanyang Technological University (NTU) - Rice University (Rice U) joint symposium on Transformational Information Engineering and Science (TIES) was held on 28-29 January 2010 to inaugurate the launch of bi-national Institute of Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAI). This symposium covered areas ranging from the emerging field of infodynamics, application of computational science in multi-disciplinary fields, sustainability driven by low energy consumption and highly integrated functional systems enabled by nanotechnology, ICT and biomedical technology, as well as history and policy for science and technology innovation. This article highlights presentations given by distinguished speakers especially on technology innovation policy, nanotechnology and virtual hospitals. Read the Whole Article
