It has been re-scheduled for Friday, March 21, 2008. New paradigms are shrinking our world and a classic technological revolution in medicine is unfolding. Nanomedicine is part of the high risk, high payoff global nanotechnology phenomenon. While nanotechnology promises to transform most industries, it will have a particularly profound impact on healthcare and medicine. Nanomedicine may be defined as the monitoring, repair, construction, and control of human biological systems at the molecular level, using engineered nanodevices and nanostructures. Advances in delivering nanotherapies, miniaturization of analytic tools, improved computational and memory capabilities and developments in remote communications will eventually be integrated. This would result in reducing the cost of drug discovery, design and development, allowing faster introduction of new cost-effective products to the market. The nano-pharma market is expected to significantly grow in the coming years. Below are some areas of nanomedicine that will be highlighted via pictures:
Dr. Raj Bawa, a biochemist and microbiologist, is President of Bawa Biotechnology Consulting LLC. He is a registered patent agent licensed to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office and specializes in all aspects of biotechnology, nanotechnology and pharmaceutical patent law. Currently, Dr. Bawa is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, since 1998. Additionally, since 2003, he has been an Adjunct Professor of Natural and Applied Sciences at the Extended Learning Institute of Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Virginia. Dr. Bawa has served as a NIH grant reviewer, participated in NSF’s merit review process and reviewed classified grant proposals from the Science Centers Program of the US Department of State. He is the author of over 50 scientific, legal and business publications. He is a Life Member of Sigma Xi, a Fellow and Board Member of the American Academy of Nanomedicine, and serves on the Global Advisory Council of the World Future Society. Presently, he serves on the editorial boards of the peer-reviewed journals, International Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology Law and Business. He is an Associate Editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine. He is co-editor of the textbook titled Nanotechnology Law to be published in 2008 by American Law Media. His biographical record appears in Marquis Who’s Who in America (2007) and Marquis Who's Who in the World (2008). All Students, Staff and Faculty are cordially invited Monday, March 24, 2008 For most students, earning a degree means a better shot at survival in the working world. Deciding what to study often stems from personal interests, but "major decisions" are also driven by the job market and demographics. For other students, taking classes and earning a degree that will prepare them for the four-year college/university is a top priority! Making sure you are pursuing a “transfer-oriented” degree and that the curriculum prepares you for the four-year institution is essential. Because the transfer requirements are different for each institution, it is imperative that you become aware of the “transfer-oriented” degrees and remain focused throughout the entire process.

Further education can be essential in either of these areas, with the ultimate goal resulting in feeling re-charged, energized, focused, and improved job satisfaction and productivity. Balancing the demands of work, school, social life, and family life can be an immensely challenging task however it can also be a source of energy, fulfillment and learning. We recognize that the traditional institutional settings designed for a traditional age population do not necessarily serve an adult learner well therefore we are sponsoring a special transfer session geared towards giving you the flexible options you need to WORK, LIVE, LEARN.
