  1. New Age of Biotechnology By : Chris Grandinetti

  2. Main Topics • Stem Cells and Heart Attacks • Blood sugar testing • Cooling the brain • New stroke detection • Funding for this

  3. Stem Cells for Heart Attacks • Heart Attack occurs • Stem Cells taken from Bone Marrow • Fast Recovery • Stem Cells are surrounded by controversy - endothelia - embryonic

  4. Blood Sugar • Infra-red light penetrates the Skin • Developed by endocrinologist, engineers and microbiologist • Works by measuring chemicals, using RAMAN spectroscopy • Working towards mass production

  5. Stroke Chiller • The best way to treat stroke victims is to lower core body temp • Labor intensive process, using bags of ice • New way was developed using tubes to take cold water to and from the body • Recent nasal spray works BEST!

  6. Stroke Detection • Using decades old technology • Submarine technology inspired radar used to map the brain • Better than recent ultrasound • Stroke is leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death

  7. Funding • Government vs Private • Limitless funds in either? • Which is better for faster production?

  8. Conclusion • Where do we go from here? • What can we do?
