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?
