I sat in the dim lit laboratory waiting for the computer monitor to display the chromatogram of the sample that I had injected into the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). I knew the peak chromatogram should come at the thirteenth minute, and if it did, the ophthalmic formulation which had become an axial part of my life over the past many months will have an added chance to become a drug product of the future. Or of course, I might just get a flat line or a confusing mix of…

treatments. There is a meeting in Toronto about how to fight against neurological diseases. They discuss many ways that they think can cure SCI’s but there is still research to do. Much research is being done on things such as integration of nanotechnology, stem cell research, biomedical engineering, and imaging of the brain and spinal cord to make progress in the fight against neurological diseases. These are all ideas they have to get nerves to regrow and reconnect with the nerves in the…

Findings An artificial Organ is a man-made creation that is implanted within a person in order to sustain/improve a failing organ and can come as a kind of temporary life support while waiting on the transplant list. In some cases, artificial organs can eliminate the need for transplantation altogether however there are many benefits and costs to artificial organs which prevents this. Other artificial organs such as prosthetic limbs and cochlear implants, which are for those in no need of…

In this essay, I will be writing about a scientific discovery of my choice. I have therefore decided to choose Insulin as my chosen subject due to it being one of the best medical discoveries ever made. Insulin is used worldwide and has a great importance in all patients with type 1 diabetes, and for some patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetics must take insulin daily in order to survive. Before the discovery of insulin, millions of people lost their lives due to having diabetes.…

Frank is a 6’ tall robot that consists of artificial body parts that were donated to assist with Frank’s creation. The men behind the machine include roboticists Matthew Godden and Richard Walker: Alexander Seifalian is a professor of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine at University College London. Seifalian created Frank’s organs using a polymer that is specifically designed to build implantable organs. created Frank’s artificial organs. Frank was created to resemble the University…

1 1. INTRODUCTION Carbon nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with cylindrical nanostructure. Constructed with length-to - diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 :1. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Nanotubes are members of fullerene structural family. Nanotube’s walls are formed by one-atom thick sheet of carbon called Graphene. The combination of rolling angle…

Francisco (UCSF). Adam Mendelsohn, Ph.D. was working on “describing new treatment options for Type 1 diabetes through the immuno-isolated transplantation of insulin-producing cells” [4]. Kayte Fischer, Ph.D. was focused on Therapeutic Micro and Nanotechnology, working on nanostructured materials in the context of gastrointestinal drug delivery with innovative adhesive properties. Meanwhile, Lily Peng, Ph.D. research focused on drug delivery and tissue engineering applications using titanium…

These systems assist almost every industry, but mainly assist manufacturing, aeronautics, nanotechnology, nuclear power production, heating and cooling. Focusing on structural analysis, thermodynamics, material science and kinematics, this is arguably the broadest type of engineering along with Civil and Electrical. Chemical engineering is the…

Medical technology is a vast field where advancements in technology play a crucial part in sustaining the health of patients. Fields such as Artificial Intelligence, 3-D printing, robotics, and medical imaging have contributed to improving the health of many people. In the medical field, the dependence of medical technology has allowed doctors to improve their practice by making more accurate diagnoses, which reduces mortality rate. Healthcare practitioners, as a result of these innovations,…

Research Question 1 Q: Is it possible to selectively eliminate Hyperplastic hepatocytes with Near-Infrared (NIR) laser emission directed towards Gold Nanorods (GNRs) without damaging host cells? A: Current research is dedicated to conjugating nanoparticles to antibodies, enzymes, receptors and various proteins throughout the body. With their unique optical ability to absorb and scatter light, noble metals, such as gold, makes a perfect contrast candidate to photo-actively increase the…
