The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 11 TECHNOLOGY Continued from Page 1 killing the good cells," said Kopelman, who predicted that in three years he will be able to submit his treatment to the Food and Drug Administration. The public, some professors contend, is largely unaware of the University's activities. The Office of the Vice Presi- dent for Research, though it has supported faculty research, ithas been slow to publicize, they said. "We should do a better job of presenting (our research activities) to the outside world and let them know the quality work that's going on at the University," Baker said. Last week, OVPR held a meeting with several key faculty members involved in nanotech. "OVPR's office is looking to initiate some activities in nanoscience and nanoengineering. They're just starting to talk about that," said Sharon Glotzer, a chemical engineering and material-science engineering professor. They are looking to "integrate many activities that are already going on." But Glotzer added that any administrative activity is in its formative stages. "The idea is that maybe there'll be some initiative" she said. At CBN, Verweij cited a number of grants the center has received, including a $2 million, three-year grant from the NASA for radiation research and a number of smaller grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. NASA has granted funds to the University to explore the effects of radiation exposure on the human body. By moni- toring white blood cells' decay, researchers can develop a real-time monitor of radiation exposure, said Baker, a nan- otechnology professor. "NASA wants to go to Mars," said Nicholas Beeson, sen- ior research associate for the University of Michigan Health System. "(They) are thinking way far ahead, but they are under some funding constraints." But the center's most prominent work is with cancer. Sci- entists build dendrimers, or polymeric molecules, which comprise nano-devices. "(Nano-devices) recognize a particular cell site. They report where they are. They deliver a drug passively. (Another) function is that we are able to detect whether or JOEL FRIEDMAN/Daily Andrzej Myc of University of Michigan Health System works on the Flowcytometer in the Biological Nanotechnology Department. not the cell is living or dead," Beeson said. Using this tech- nology, researchers have had success in selectively destroy- ing cancer cells in mice. The College of Engineering also researches in this area. "In the 11 departments within engineering, I would say that three-fourths are doing research in nanotechnology," said James MacBain, research relations director for the col- lege. The implications are numerous, crossing academic disci- plines and various sections of public policy. Researchers are using nanotech for environmental reasons, mainly in water purification. Studying the properties of tiny structures could potential- ly increase homeland security and defense, researchers said. Glotzer, who researches "bio-mimetic" or "bio-inspired" nano-materials, said her research could eventually create sensors for pathogens and a form of DNA fingerprinting. "Nanotechnology has impacts in a large number in fields. But it will also affect the chips that go into your computer. It could affect the materials that you wear for clothing," applied physics Prof. Brad Orr said. In spite of all its potential, the technology has its skeptics. The nonprofit Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration - ETC Group - has been an outspoken voice calling for greater government regulation and an eval- uation of scientific practices. The group is concerned with health, the environment and the industry, said Pat Mooney, the group's executive director. Government regulation has been lax, and technicalities allow new discoveries to enter the market without proper testing, he said. "We are especially concerned about sunscreens. They are not actually being tested by the FDA because they have been approved at the macro scale," Mooney said. "Alu- minum oxide is used by dentists on the macro-scale. But when you reduce it down the micro-scale, it can actually be explosive." The federal government needs to develop specific guide- lines toward the new technology. Often, nanomedicines are treated as "instruments" rather than drugs, Mooney added. The government will also need to revisit patent legisla- tion, complicated by nanotechnologies that cross various industries, Mooney said. But the University remains steadfast in its commitment to the science, hoping to explore new horizons. "Nanoscience and nanotechnology is going to be one of the frontiers of the future. It's going to be a new door that will allow discoveries unimagined at this time," said Fawwaz Ulaby, vice president for research at OVPR. "It's all the sciences, engineering and medicine. That is its other appeal, that it crosses many disciplines." The NIH shares that perspective, calling nanomedicine one of five "new pathways to discovery" for the 21st century. Funding to the National Nanotechnology Initiative, a multi-agency program created by President Bill Clinton in 2000, will increase 9.5 percent in fiscal year 2004 to $847 million. In May, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003 appropriating $2.36 billion over three years to a num- ber of executive agencies. The Senate is considering a simi- lar bill. WOMEN'S RIGHTS Continued from Page 1 Congress that we won't stand for the loss of our repro- ductive freedoms," Kuo said. Congress last week passed legislation banning an abor- tion procedure that its opponents call partial-birth abor- tion. President Bush is expected to sign the bill. The fair also addressed domestic violence and sexual assault. V-day, the student organization most-known for its production of the The Vagina Monologues, advocated granting clemency to women who have been put in prison for killing their abusive husbands. The Clemency Project, a statewide effort, especially focuses on women who were convicted before domestic-violence laws were imple- mented. Amnesty International focused on awareness of rape, using live monologues to get its point across. "We've been studying rape awareness on campus, within the state of Michigan and internationally, and we've noticed that rape is used as a form of ethnic cleansing and torture for war-crimes in many countries," said RC sophomore and Amnesty International member Ash- wini Hardikar. "People don't normally think about rape as a form of torture," she said. Also present was the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, which features a 24-hour crisis line that is staffed by volunteers. The organization's main focus, according to LSA junior Lindsay Jolley, is "getting the word out about sexual violence, how it can be pre- vented and providing support for survivors." The media was a point of passion for the groups in atten- dance as well. The University Media Awareness Coalition focused on the way women are portrayed in print media. Its table was adorned with displays of advertisements featuring women that the group felt were degrading to women. "UMAC tries to dissect messages magazines are sell- ing to women from ages 18 to 35, particularly college women," LSA sophomore Anne Cassard said. The organization encourages women to send in the publications' subscription forms, free of postage, stating how the ads in question make them feel. The event took place in the Pendleton Room on the second floor of the Michigan Union. the michigan c CORNER HOUSE LOFTS! Now leasing for Fall 2004.
