Biodefense: Research Methodology and Animal Models
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, biodefense research has been increasingly emphasized. Biodefense: Research Methodology and Animal Models, edited by James R. Swearengen, is a timely and invaluable reference for those performing animal experimentation to develop medical countermeasures and diagnostics against infectious agents and toxins identified as potential biological weapo...
متن کاملPotential of Luminescence Based Molecular Animal Imaging in Research Areas Pertaining to Cancer Biology and Therapy
Animal imaging is getting tremendous importance in biomedical research areas including drug delivery, radiobiology and cancer research. Even though, imaging techniques like CT, PET, SPECT, MRI are available for experimental animals, luminescence-based molecular imaging is still considered as crucial and common tool for biomedical laboratories due to easy handling/maintenance, cost effectiveness...
متن کاملFacilitating Biodefense Research with Mobile-Cloud Computing
This paper proposes the use of a mobile-cloud by combining mobile devices and the cloud together in a biodefense and emerging infectious diseases (BEI) research application scenario. A mobile-cloud framework is developed to facilitate the use of mobile devices to collect data for, and manipulate and interact with the scientific workflows running in the Cloud. In this framework, an independent t...
متن کاملBiodefense research: a win-win challenge.
291 THE RECENT CONTENTIONS that a government scientist was responsible for the 2001 anthrax letter attacks represent a challenge to this country’s resolve to remain a global leader. Our future is inextricably bound with our ability to maintain a pre-eminent role in science, and so it is imperative that our leadership and citizenry have the confidence in American science that it well warrants. N...
متن کاملPotential of DNA microarrays for developing parallel detection tools (PDTs) for microorganisms relevant to biodefense and related research needs.
Development of parallel detection tools using microarrays is critically reviewed in view of the need for screening multiple microorganisms in a single test. Potential research needs with respect to probe design and specificity, validation, sample concentration, selective target enrichment and amplification, and data analysis are discussed. Data illustrating selected probe design issues for dete...
