A panel of 47 novel Canis (dogs) SNPs was used, for the determination of a phylogenetic tree in 45 different Canis DNA samples.
Digital-PCR gene chip were used to determine the number of a human gene which were incorporated in a plant cells for the production of this protein to treat human disease. CGH array and NGS technologies were used to locate new genes associated with complex clinical genetic diseases.

2013 Wolf Prize Laureate in Chemistry David H. Koch Institute Professor Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139Organizer Faculty of ChemistryContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Advanced drug delivery systems are having an enormous impact...» Advanced drug delivery systems are having an enormous impact on human health. We start by discussing our early research on developing the first polymeric controlled release systems for macromolecules and their use in the isolation of angiogenesis inhibitors and how this led to numerous new therapies. We then discuss new ways of using nanotechnology based systems to deliver DNA and siRNA. Approaches for creating new biomaterials are then evaluated and examples where such materials are used in brain cancer and shape memory applications are discussed. Finally, by combining mammalian cells, including stem cells, with synthetic polymers, new approaches for engineering tissues are being developed that may someday help in treating various diseases. Examples in the areas of cartilage, skin and spinal cord repair are discussed. -

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.Organizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about There is consistency in how health people move their eyes, a...» There is consistency in how health people move their eyes, arms, and legs. What is good about this way of moving, and why has our brain settled on this pattern? Here, I focus on the control of eye movements and suggest that the purpose of any movement is to acquire a more rewarding state. I suggest that the way the brain discounts reward in time strongly affects why we move the way that we do. This framework has the potential to explain why disorders that affect processing of reward in the brain, like Parkinson's disease, depression, and Schizophrenia, result in changes in control of movements. -
