LeBrasseur, Bennett G. Childs, Bart van de Sluis, James L. Kirkland & Jan M. Van Deursen Nature 479, 232–236 (10 November 2011) Prevents ageing: kyphosis, cataract etc According to Science one of the top 10 scientific discoveries of 2011

  14. Skolkovo TechResearch Investment Strategy Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology 2012

  15. Skolkovo Tech Strategy – BioMedicine (1) Computational and systems biology – profoundly different approaches to study biological systems, including complex data, in order to support both basic, as well as applied research involving discovery of new drugs and drug targets [high priority] Immunology and infectious disease - in terms of diseases caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria and viral pandemics, the role of microbiome in human health, and organized response to and treatment of disease [high priority, center in negotiation] Gene- and nano-medicine - impacting the understanding of disease, therapeutics and drug delivery [high priority, center in negotiation] Regenerative medicine - stem cell research as well as tissue and organ fabrication [high priority, center in negotiation with ERIBA, University of Groningen]

  16. Hey Charles, Where are you going? To the University of Groningen, always good to get some additional schooling THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
