Questions related to Medical Biotechnology
Hello to all my fellow Biologists.
I have resorted to posting this question as my last desperate attempt to find a place for myself in the world of biotechnology.
I am a first class student with relatively good grades (GPA 3.77/4.00) in BSc. of Biotechnology (Hons), excellent extra-curriculars and competitions under my belt, 6 months of work as a Field/Research Assistant and 4 years of previous work experience in events management. I have experience in the microbiology, molecular biology, antivirals, nutraceuticals and cell culture disciplines. I have also taken a great liking to scientific communication and create visual content to make biology simpler for the Layman, both bother and in my own time.
Despite all this, I haven't had a single postgraduate application succeed for the last 2 years. And though I do understand there is high competition for available spots, I also wonder what I may be lacking despite some telling me I have an "impressive CV" and can do a direct PhD.
It is unfortunate however that my family is not doing financially well, therefore I can only afford opportunities with a scholarship or that are work/salary-based. Perhaps this narrows available opportunities but regardless, studentship scholarships have very evidently not opted for me, simply because "there were too many applicants this time around". Perhaps lacking funds is not enough of a criteria? (Hint of sarcasm).
Additionally, I was born and raised in the UAE (I do not get citizenship), therefore I am also looking for a potential country to eventually settle down in while doing the work I love.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone would know of opportunities I may be able to apply for like fully funded PhDs, or skilled/summer programs and workshops/internships, or even Research or Lab assistant positions you or someone you know may be looking for, because unfortunately, I'm 2 rejections away from being completely out of options.
I would greatly appreciate any input you may have or can share with me! I have also added my CV for your reference.
I don't want my impression of the field I love to be tainted with nothing but rejections, and to settle for a job outside our field simply because I had no other choice.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Zahraa Ozeer
Hi, dear friends. My name is Mohammad and studies medical biotechnology at University of medical sciences. Decided to form a group for research in cancer stem cells related sciences, Does anyone have an interest in this field? We want to form an international group. It's my telegram ID. Everyone interest in send message for me.

Dear friends and colleagues,
there is a very important resource on the web that is "Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology". The Atlas is a peer reviewed on-line journal / encyclopedia / database established in 1997 that collects data about cancer genes, solid tumors, leukaemia and other resources. It is in open free access for readers and there are no fees for the authors.
I'm searching volunteers and collaborators that would to write with me reviews about single genes involved in cancer.
I have published several papers so far and I believe that Atlas is a very valuable tool for us researchers, scientists and scholars.
I invite you to visit the Atlas website at http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/index.html for more information. Here is my latest article published http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org//Genes/GC_EEF1B2.html to show you my working method. Anyone wishing to collaborate with me to write a specific review on a gene can tell me as well.
I am considering the following products for homogenization of a biological tissue in solution using beads:
1.) Precellys evolution or Precellys 24- http://www.precellys.com/precellys-evolution.aspx
2.) Biospec mini-beadbeater 24- http://www.biospec.com/category/beadbeater_type_homogenizers/
3.) NEXT ADVANCE bullet blender- http://www.biospec.com/category/beadbeater_type_homogenizers/
Does anyone have experience with these models that they could share? Does someone know of a different model for homogenization with beads? Please share positive and negative experiences.
Thank you in advance!
I am teaching "specialized terms for Medical Biotechnology". I need to introduce some very good references for this section.
Is it possible to you introduce some references in this field? or is it possible for you to introduce one to help me?
I am interested to have some cases/examples where scientists come out with an efficient drug against a disease marker (successful clinical trials), although at the end they realized that the cost of developing and marketing that drug was too high to be afforded and covered by most of health insurance systems therefore they decided to quit the project without providing this drug to patients who needed it. Or cases when the project was stopped because at certain point the scientists realized that the cost of production of the drug was very high and the number of patients to whom this drug was targeted wasn't big enough to cover the research/development costs (orphan drug). I know that this is not common because usually no one would do a research without predicting the financial aspect that's why I am asking for your help, if you ever encountered such a case.
I need this information to moderate a debate about biotechnology and society, so if you have another interesting topic, I would really appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Gene therapy is an insertion of functional gene in neighboring or instead of dysfunctional genes.

Does anyone have experience in measuring superoxide dismutase (SOD) using RANDOX reagents kit in follicular fluid? We tried to make measurements of different dilutions of follicular fluid, but we allways get zero as result.
Any idea?

Hi, I wouldlike to evaluate my heart vessel segmentation results. there is no related research. Only 3d segmentation was applied on original image. my goal is to quantify angiogenesis. i have attached three copies of the results. i need your help



Hi
If i dissolve fibrinogen into a plasma (bovine) with anticoagulant (herparin/EDTA or citrate) will this prevent me from forming fibrin gels when mixed with thrombin? Will this anticoagulant in solution stop the fibrinogen - thrombin interaction required for fibrin gel formation.
Can one buy plasma without anticoagulant?

I willl make a carbonate and bicarbonate determination through volumetric titration with an acid and some indicator.
But I want to know some document or article in which I can find the interferences that I could have doing that analysis.
Thank you so much for your time and help

Are there any websites that describe how to design DARPins?
I see this precipitate could be relate to pDNA. Although culture viability and cell growth are running well, the transfection efficiency was highly affected. Why does this happen?
I need suggestions on plastics that fit the following requirements, please.
1) Can be used in a 3D Printer (preferably MakerBot 5th Gen. Replicators)
2) Can be used for adhesion of collagen to its surface
3) Will not degrade in the presence of acidotic blood
4) Relatively inexpensive
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
