Cracking the Code
Biomedical research has experienced a significant growth and has earned to be placed at the forefront of sciences overall. The 20th century was coined the century of physics. It is expected that the 21st century will become the biomedical century.
The discovery of the sequencing of the human genome, which is the entire DNA in an organism including its genes, is a scientific landmark in human science. Mapping of the human body will change human nature and our entire view on life. One cannot avoid being awed at the tremendous amount of information contained in such a minute space. The DNA contains information allowing proteins to be manufactured, and the proteins control cell growth and function, which eventually are responsible for each organism.
This science is very complex and scientists are slowly deciphering it. In fact, scientists need to identify approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in the human DNA and determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA. Once this information is retrieved, it will be stored in giant databases.

City of Dundee – Innovation Centre of Scotland
The city of Dundee is the fourth largest in Scotland and lies in the North bank of the Fifth of Tay that empties into the North Sea. The 2006 population estimates placed the metropolitan population at 159,522. A population peak of 182,204 has been recorded in 1971 that declined rapidly due to outward migration. Today, the city promotes itself as the ‘City of Discovery’ given its scientific prowess as witnessed in the RRS Discovery; Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic exploration vessel, biomedical and technological industries that account for 10% of the UK’s digital entertainment industry and its two world class universities, the University of Dundee, a leading research institution, and the University of Abertay Dundee. An influential US think tank chose the city as one amongst the seven most intelligent communities in the world.
The City’s council has a plan for the fiscal year 2010/2012 with an approval date of Monday 24 May 2010. The plan provides a strategic overview of how the council will deliver services and shape the future of the city and work through the Dundee Partnership to deliver the Single Outcome Agreement with the Scottish government. The overall aim of the plan is to create jobs and continue the city’s modernization and cement Dundee’s position as a strong regional center. In addition, it seeks to find new and efficient ways of delivering and modernizing council services.

Breast Cancer The Cure
There is no known cure for breast cancer. More than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year worldwide. Scientists don’t know why most women get breast cancer, yet breast cancer is the most frequent tumor found in women the world over. A woman who dies of breast cancer is robbed of an average of nearly 20 years of her life. Breast cancer knows no social boundaries. It’s a disease that can affect anyone. Some prominent women who’s lives that have been touched by breast cancer include Jill Eikenberry actress age 52; Peggy Fleming age 49 figure skater; Kate Jackson age 50 (Charlies Angels); Olivia Newton-John age 50 actress singer; Nancy Reagan age 77 former first lady; Melissa Etheridge age 43 singer; and the beautiful Suzanne Summers actress. These high rates of breast cancer are not acceptable to the women of the world and must be met with scientific research that provides results.
Despite over a decade of research, and more than $1.7 billion spent, hundereds of women worldwide are dying from breast cancer every day. Yet doctors don’t know how breast cancer starts or how to cure it. Doctors are still approaching treatment for breast cancer in the same old fashioned ways: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Barbarick treatments…And scientists keep doing the same old redundant research that’s simply not working. It doesn’t have to be that way. Gen Cells Cures is a scientific biotechnology company that is focused on a cure for breast cancer. The company is dedicated to curing breast cancer before it’s too late for you. We’re not interested in a cure in five, ten, or twenty years from now. We want your cure for breast cancer within a year or two. We don’t want you to have to under go surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or take toxic drugs.
