Abstract

In the next year or two Newham Health District in London is to open phase I of its new nucleus development and close three existing hospitals. Robert Sloane, commissioning officer, describes how the IBM AS system was used to plan the manpower requirements and check the revenue consequences.

Patents and the human genome project--new claims for old?

The development and application of genomics is set to revolutionize the life sciences. Commercial exploitation of this research will allow the development of novel therapies and diagnostic assays. However, some argue that a 'gold rush' is underway and conflicts have already arisen over the question of filing patents and sharing data. In this article we consider some of the issues that relate to patenting genomic inventions.

Array of hope for gene technology.

A Washington-based bioinformatics company is developing sophisticated DNA microarrays that should help researchers measure and analyze gene expression faster, more economically, and with greater precision than ever before possible. The FlexJet system, as the microarray product is known, uses inkjet technology to propel microscopic strands of DNA nucleotides onto slides, "printing" arrays of DNA molecules in a process not unlike the manner in which a printer deposits ink onto paper, forming distinct patterns of characters and images. Microarray technology may revolutionize the field of toxicogenomics by helping scientists target new drugs, discover gene function, determine biologic pathways, and better understand diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, and cardiovascular disease at the molecular level.
