The Life Sciences Research Foundation (LSRF) is a postdoctoral fellowship program, with missions "to identify and fund exceptional young scientists at a critical juncture of their training in all areas of basic life sciences" and "to establish partnerships between those who support research in the life sciences and academic institutions for their mutual benefit".
Nanotechnology has the potential to benefits all forms of work from daily life to medicine and biology. Despite these benefits, there are also health risks when it comes to human exposure to the nano material. Studies have shown that dangerous nano-particles can build up in the body after prolonged exposure.
The use of cotton swabs (aka cotton buds or Q-Tips) in the ear canal has no associated medical benefits and poses definite medical risks. [295] The idea that a precise number of stages of grief exist is not supported in peer-reviewed research or objective clinical observation, let alone the five stages of grief model. [296]
Life Sciences Foundation (LSF) was a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that was established in 2011 to collect, preserve, interpret, and promote the history of biotechnology. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] LSF conducted historical research, maintained archives and published historically relevant materials and information.
In a 2005 editorial, Chervenak wrote that China's low-cost, highly skilled technologists and scientists, a strong track record in life-science research, a high-quality talent pool of returnee overseas Chinese, advantageous regulations and tax policy, and China's entrepreneurial culture, all contribute to create a bright future for China's life ...
In 2014, the Future of Life Institute held its opening event at MIT: a panel discussion on "The Future of Technology: Benefits and Risks", moderated by Alan Alda. [32] [33] The panelists were synthetic biologist George Church, geneticist Ting Wu, economist Andrew McAfee, physicist and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek and Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn.
The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity also has instituted rules for research proposals using gain-of-function research of concern. [28] The rules outline how experiments are to be evaluated for risks, safety measures, and potential benefits; prior to funding.
To mitigate these risks while allowing the benefits of such research, various governments have mandated that DURC experiments be regulated under additional oversight by institutions (so-called institutional "DURC" committees) [8] and government agencies (such as the NIH's recombinant DNA advisory committee).
