Advances in molecular biology and genomic medicine are increasing the odds that compounds dreamed up by scientists make it from the lab to the pharmacy. Here are some of the latest candidates, either just approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or under review. ?DIABETES If you're a diabetic and the daily injections of insulin are torture, then get ready for some relief. Pfizer received FDA approval in January to market the first inhaled insulin, Exubera, which should become available around midyear. The powdered insulin, taken just before meals, is released into the mouth and lungs through...
...would think corporations would be falling all over themselves to make money off this new resource: a cheap R&D lab the approximate size of the earth's online population. In fact, they have been slow to embrace it. Admittedly, it's counterintuitive: until now the value of a piece of intellectual property has been defined by how few people possess it. In the future the value will be defined by how many people possess it. You could even imagine a future in which companies scrapped their R&D departments entirely and simply proposed questions for the global collective intelligence...
...Microsoft Research, started in 1991 as the first of its kind corporate computer science research lab, may well be more dynamic than any university computer science department. That's the way Rick Rashid, the senior VP in charge who was a professor at Carnegie Mellon, designed it . "For me basic research has to be first and foremost about moving the state of the art forward in computer science. We publish in peer reviewed journals just like professors so that our research is subject to the same purity of process that a university would have," says Rashid. "It's not about...
...anomaly.Then again, HDS’s mission—“to educate women and men for service as leaders in religious life and thought”—is no less of one.Instead of submitting online résumés or signing up for research lab internships, MDiv students “discern” their Divine calling through a program that seeks to bridge the ministry and the academy.The 180 or so MDiv students at HDS are preparing for lives as many kinds of ministers, but, whether by choice or by circumstance, most of them...
...months, we crisscrossed the country, interviewing sleep experts, getting tested in sleep labs and even flying a 747 simulator after being awake for 30 hours. I got my first clue that I might be more sleep deprived than I thought in a lab run by Robert Stickgold, a cognitive neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School...
