A NEW MONTHLY TECHNOLOGY COLUMN FEATURING TIMELY TECH TRENDS, TIPS
AND UPDATES
 When
you accept the Nobel Prize, allow us the honor of saying, “We knew
him/her when...”
Hired a new CIO? Let us know about it. Landed a research grant?
Don’t keep it to yourself. Found a cure for the common cold? We’re
all ears.
We’re looking for a few good bits, bytes and blurbs about technological
developments for this new monthly column. Items need not be biotech-related,
although we surmise that many will be, considering our region has
been dubbed the BioBelt.
 Scientists
Collaborate Internationally for Early Cancer Diagnosis
Orion Genomics and University of Glasgow researchers are working
together to develop screening tests for cancer at an early stage
and to provide personalized information about how tumors are most
effectively treated. Orion, located in the Center for Emerging Technologies,
develops molecular diagnostic products to detect cancer at its earliest
stages and to aid in choosing appropriate therapies.
Under the collaboration, scientists will employ Orion’s technologies
to help identify ways to detect and treat cancers of the lung, breast
and ovaries.
